Being D.A.D.
Becoming a father is one of the greatest honors a man can experience. Yet, it comes with no manual or set of instructions for navigating its complexities. One significant challenge that many fathers face, particularly those involved in their child's life before the age of 16, is managing a child’s custody and preparing for its demands.

Testimonials
Growing up, I had to learn some things the hard way when it came to my mental health. Battling depression was difficult, and there were times in my life when I didn’t know how to ask for help because I didn't understand exactly what I needed. At times, I would avoid everything and everyone, but my dad was always there for me, pulling me out of the hole I thought was impossible to escape.
Time and time again, my dad has been my rock. When I think about the man I want to become as a father, I aspire to emulate the best dad in the world so that one day, my son will write something like this about me. Jokes aside, there are not enough thank-yous I could give to my dad for the love and time he has given me. I just want to make him proud.

A Message to Fathers
Being a dad has been an incredible journey filled with challenges and rewards that bring joy beyond words. This is the message I want to leave for all fathers:
There comes a time in our lives when, as men, we are blessed with a bundle of joy. We may find out early or wait to see if it’s a girl or a boy. From the moment they are brought into this world, our lives begin to change. We feel immense love and a sense of pride that should remain unchanged to this day.
So step up, men, and continue to be the example that doesn’t come and go like a fad. Remember, any man can be a father, but God has given you the blessing and responsibility to be a D.A.D.
Welcome to the D.A.D. Program. Join us in celebrating the incredible journey of fatherhood.
To address this, Fighting Chance has developed a comprehensive educational workshop, and an eight-session curriculum designed to equip fathers with the knowledge and skills they need.
We are also establishing a funding platform to provide financial assistance. Our mission is to offer the best educational resources and practical solutions to help fathers transition from simply being a parent to becoming a dedicated, involved D.A.D. At Fighting Chance, our motto is “Because Everyone Deserves One.”
Workshop and Curriculum topics include:
– Difference of being a father vs being D.A.D.
– Expectations of being D.A.D.
– Misconceptions of being D.A.D.
– Making the transition from being a father to D.A.D.
– Legal rights of D.A.D.
