No More Absent Parents Foundation
At the No More Absent Parents Foundation, our mission is to support and strengthen families by addressing the challenges and consequences of parental absence. We believe that every child deserves the love, guidance, and presence of both parents. Our work is dedicated to creating a future where no child grows up feeling the void of an absent parent.
Our Story
Founded in 2019, the No More Absent Parents Foundation was born out of a profound understanding of the long-lasting impact that absent parents can have on children’s lives. Our founder, David Robertson, experienced firsthand the challenges of growing up without a consistent parental figure. This personal journey inspired the creation of a foundation that aims to provide support, resources, and advocacy for families facing similar struggles.
