Growing up in an unstable environment, I struggled immensely as a young wife and mother. Throughout my career, I have spoken to hundreds of men and women facing the same challenges. Finding God transformed my life, restoring my marriage, my relationship with my children, and my connection with my parents. Serving others has been a calling on my heart since childhood. By sharing powerful testimonies, leveraging the programs AEF offers, and keeping God at the center of everything, I believe we can begin to heal and support families from all walks of life and faith, both across the country and around the world. -Talya President

As someone who grew up in a fatherless home, I understand the turmoil and confusion it can cause. AEF’s mission to provide direction, vision, and purpose is the cure for men like myself who were deprived of the example of a complete and confident man. My goal is to help men and families find a sense of identity and purpose, endowed by their Creator, to put an end to fatherlessness one father at a time. This mission fills my heart with hope and determination, knowing we can create a brighter future for generations to come. -Zach Vice President

The programs will provide people with the tools and support they need, addressing gaps that many other nonprofits haven’t. Especially with the Fatherhood Initiative Program right here in our own community, I truly believe, deep in my heart, that countless lives will be positively impacted and transformed. They will be beautifully sprinkled with hope and dignity. - Susan Secretary
