"May the ripples from our canoes reach a multitude of shores and children around the world. Most especially those who never see their father!" ~ Dwight E. Stitt
As a father of four, Dwight Stitt believes that family connection is everything - especially with his children. But after his divorce, he faced many challenges and hardships in being able to maintain strong loving bonds with his two eldest children from his first marriage. Determined to make things better, he has leveraged every life experience to be successful, and started f3TCh.org to help other children rebuild and fortify lifelong bonds with their father.
F3tch has been serving since 2013 and officially became a 501(c)(3) public charity in April 2017.
What Drives Us
We are Fathers Fighting for Their Children’s Hearts.
Our mission is simple but powerful: to strengthen the bond between children and their fathers.
Over 350 million children worldwide are growing up in fatherless homes. But the truth is, that number barely scratches the surface. Fatherlessness isn’t just about physical absence—it comes in many forms. A dad can be living at home and still not present in the lives of his children.
Today’s fathers are needed more than ever—not just as providers, but as daily participants in their children's lives. For too long, society has sold the lie that a father’s role begins and ends with earning an income. But the truth is, a father’s presence matters far more than his paycheck. His time, attention, and love lay the foundation for his children’s future in ways money never could.
Generations ago, dads ended their workdays gathered around the family dinner table. They taught life lessons through everyday interactions—lessons many kids today may never receive. Now, statistics tell a heartbreaking story: around 85% of negative outcomes affecting youth—poverty, addiction, exploitation, and more—can be traced back to the lack of an active father.
While many organizations focus on treating the symptoms of fatherlessness, we focus on the cure—helping fathers spend intentional, meaningful time with their children.
At F3tch, we host free events and activities designed to deepen father-child connections, build lasting memories, and create moments that matter. We handle the logistics, supply the gear, and remove the financial burden. Why? Because you can’t put a price tag on a child’s joy—or the bond they share with their dad.
None of this would be possible without generous supporters like you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you—and may God bless your family tenfold for your kindness.
