Our Vision
Trauma can rock the very foundations of what we have built our life on. And if our foundation was not strong to begin with, we can live with a continual cycle of generational trauma. We believe that good parenting begins with strong foundations, so our aim is to help parents break cycles of generational trauma.
In a world that feels more and more culturally-driven, ParentFuel also aims to equip parents to feel confident to become spiritual leaders in their own homes.
We have a long-term vision to serve communities so that Jesus will be made known for many generations to come.

Story
Our Story
Dawn’s journey began in 1999, working with young people at risk of school exclusion. During that time, God broke her heart for those who are lost, hurting, and overlooked.
In 2007, life changed dramatically when Dawn became a solo parent to two toddlers, with a baby on the way. As she navigated the challenges of raising children alone, she became deeply interested in how trauma and abuse can echo through generations.
A survivor of both childhood and adult domestic violence, Dawn began to explore how generational patterns shape the way we parent and how cycles can be broken through healing, faith, and community.
In 2023, ParentFuel was born out of a grassroots project supporting solo parents. What started as a simple idea has grown into a movement to empower families through faith, connection, and practical support.
