Being a father is the most important thing you can do to make the world better. Here’s proof…

Children in father-absent homes are at least 4 times more likely to struggle with drug and alcohol abuse later in life. (U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services)

85% of youth in prison come from fatherless homes. (U.S. Dept. of Justice)

Kids with involved fathers have lower rates of depression, anxiety, and behavior issues, according to a meta-analysis of 24 studies. (Sarkadi et al., Acta Paediatrica, 2008)
