Strong & Silent Fathers

Hi village family. Friendly reminder to mark your calendars for 6/13. The Family Village will not be at the Bayview YMCA for our regular event. We will return in July. Stop by the Bayview Juneteenth event and you will see some of us and our partners there in community. Please help us spread the word.

🔥 FIRST BETA COHORT COMPLETE 🔥
Strong & Silent Fathers Initiative
In partnership with FACES SF

This wasn’t just a program…
This was a shift.

Over these past 6 weeks, we witnessed real transformation:

➡️ Awareness → Action
➡️ Reaction → Intention
➡️ Isolation → Brotherhood
➡️ Presence → Impact

These fathers didn’t just show up…
They leaned in. They did the work. They stayed committed.

What started as conversations turned into accountability.
What started as individuals turned into a brotherhood.

And now…
This work doesn’t end here.

It moves forward into their homes.
Into their families.
Into their communities.

Because when a father shifts…
Everything around him shifts.

This is what it means when we say:
Presence Is the Intervention™

Salute to every brother who stood tall in this cohort.
The mission continues. The impact multiplies.

Year 6.

Six years of carrying you.
Six years of learning how to be your father from this side of heaven.
Six years of turning pain into purpose… and love into action.

LaSaaun, you didn’t stay long in my arms…
but you never left my life.

I carry you in everything I do.
In how I love.
In how I show up.
In how I stand for other fathers and families who don’t always have the words.

Your life still speaks.
Through me.
Through our family.
Through every life we touch in your name.

This isn’t just remembrance…
this is movement.

And I promise you…
we’re still building something worthy of you.

Forever my son.
Forever my purpose.

I’m a dad who gets impatient sometimes. A dad who works hard and wishes he’d saved more energy for home. A dad who wants to show up, even when I don’t get it perfect.

1 in 10 babies in the United States are born preterm.

That’s not rare.
That’s structural.

Chronic stress.
Economic pressure.
System gaps.
Isolation.

These aren’t just social issues.
They are health factors.

Prevention doesn’t begin in the delivery room.
It begins in stable homes, supported families, and coordinated systems.

We can do better.

💬 Comment TAX 2025 and we’ll send you a direct message with a link to our Stillbirth Tax Credits and Deductions page for more information. Please note that this information is as up to date as possible, but if you notice errors, please let us know.

⭐️ If you live in one of the states that offers a stillbirth tax credit or deduction and lost your baby to stillbirth in 2025, this is a gentle reminder to file. We are so deeply sorry this applies to you. Our hope is that this financial support can ease at least a small part of the burden during an incredibly painful time.

🫂 If your state does not currently offer this support, we know that can feel frustrating and unfair. Please send us a message if you’d like to learn how to advocate for similar legislation in your state. Many of these policies exist today because families chose to speak up so others would be supported in the future.

Thank you to the families and advocates who have worked to make these credits and deductions possible. 🤍
