ReEngage is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation that is made up of a group of concerned parents, educators, health professionals, clergy, and citizens who wants to begin the process of repairing these broken relationships between men and their children. Absentee fathers have become an American epidemic that reaches across racial, economic, and ethnic lines. We have irrefutable evidence that most of our social problems in the black community stems from this phenomenon. I am asking you to join with us as we seek to change the lives of thousands of kids right here in Kansas City many of whom have never known the security and love of a father that you and I may take for granted. We can no longer sit idly by while our children are being deprived and our nation is losing generation after generation of children. Black children just like all other children deserve and require a loving and caring relationship with their fathers, will you help us to make that day a reality for them.

As we become a nation of more illegitimate births, separations, and divorces more and more of our children will face the real possibility of growing up without the financial, spiritual, and emotional guidance of their fathers and this we must not allow to happen. I agree that while it is important to understand the why in order to address the what but we as a society and as a community no longer have the luxury of doing nothing. Regardless of whether the government or the larger society chooses to support our efforts the black community can no longer be excused for refusing to act. These are our children that are being deserted.
