will turn around for the better and the battle won’t be so long and tiresome. Until that moment, we say to the dads out there currently trying to be involved in your child’s life – Never let your circumstance or environment prevent you from reaching your goal or raising your child.

But it starts with you – the dad. We’re here to help, to assist with finding suitable employment and teaching you how to be successful.
