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.
