Unless you’ve grown up without a father, you really don’t understand how a father’s absence from your life can mess with your mind, and leave you feeling lost, alone, abandoned and unwanted.
Those were all emotions I experienced as a child and well into adulthood. It is very difficult for a child to overcome not having a father.
From Inland Empire Community News:
It all started as a small after school program at an apartment complex in Colton. A few years later in 2013, three friends, Frank Perez, Jeremy Livermore and April Hoss decided to take a leap of faith and turn that program into a cutting edge learning center.
Establishing ReWritten, a nonprofit public charity that would be a safe place for kids and teens to learn life skills, explore the arts, receive tutoring and build mentoring relationships, the friends wanted to bring real change into the lives of the young people they served.
The ReWritten motto is “Futures for the Fatherless and Underserved.”
