At Little Ships, we believe every child deserves the love and guidance of their father. Yet, we know that for some dads, being actively involved in their children’s lives is not always straightforward. Legal battles, financial barriers, and other challenges can make it difficult for fathers to stay connected with their Little Ships. That’s why we’re proud to introduce the Little Ships Fathers Support Fund—a commitment to standing by dads who need a helping hand.
What Is the Fathers Support Fund?
The Fathers Support Fund is our way of supporting fathers who are fighting to gain or maintain access to their children. We pledge 1% of all website revenue to this fund, ensuring it grows as our Little Ships community grows. These funds are dedicated to helping selected fathers overcome the obstacles that stand between them and their children.
We know the journey of fatherhood is full of challenges, and we want to make sure every dad has the opportunity to be the captain their Little Ship needs.
Who Is Eligible?
To apply for support from the Fathers Support Fund, applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Be a Little Ships Customer: Applicants must have purchased from our website within the last 12 months.
- Be a Father Seeking Access: The fund is specifically for fathers working to gain or maintain access to their children.
- Be Willing to Share Their Journey: While we respect privacy, selected fathers may be asked to share parts of their story to help raise awareness and inspire others.
How Does It Work?
- Revenue Milestones: Every time Little Ships reaches a revenue milestone, we’ll announce it on our social media channels and invite applications for the fund.
- Application Process: Eligible fathers will be asked to submit an application explaining their situation, the challenges they’re facing, and how the fund could help.
- Review & Selection: Our team will carefully review all submissions. While we can’t help everyone, we aim to support as many fathers as possible with the funds available.
- Notification: Selected applicants will be contacted directly via email or telephone.
How the Fund Can Help
The Fathers Support Fund can be used to assist with:
- Legal fees and court costs related to gaining access to children.
- Mediation services to resolve custody disputes.
- Professional advice or counseling to support fathers during their journey.
Our goal is to make the path a little smoother for dads facing uphill battles—because every child deserves the love and presence of their father.
