Founded on Christmas Day in 2024, Fathering From A Distance blossomed from the extraordinary bond between Joey Green and his daughter, Sommer. Despite a 16-year incarceration, Joey's commitment to his children never faltered. Through heartfelt letters, shared stories, and unwavering support, he bridged the distance, nurturing their relationship against all odds. Inspired by his journey and the impact of the Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree program, we're dedicated to helping other families maintain these unbreakable bonds.
To empower parents physically separated from their children by providing comprehensive resources and support, fostering strong and enduring family relationships.
Through our programs, we enable parents to actively participate in their children's lives, despite physical barriers, ensuring every child feels loved and supported
"I just come support these kids. One of the things that I do is, when the kids see me go to the concession stand, I buy as much stuff as I can for everybody. Just to make a positive connection with some of these kids. ... All I ever ask is if you see me in public, you speak to me. It’s all I ever ask from them."
— Joey Green, at the Linden-McKinley High School tailgate event, as featured in The Columbus Dispatch
A world where physical distance doesn't hinder parent-child bonds—where love, support, and connection thrive regardless of separation.

Mothers Across Miles is our sister initiative, dedicated to supporting mothers who are physically separated from their children. We recognize that mothers face unique challenges, and we're committed to providing tailored support to help bridge the gap and nurture the mother-child bond.
Connecting incarcerated parents with their children through letters, support groups, and reintegration resources.
Supporting military families to maintain emotional bonds during deployments and transitions.
Empowering youth with mentorship and educational resources to unlock their full potential.
Our roots run deep in community service, inspired by Joey's impactful work with the Columbus Urban League. Through groundbreaking programs like 'Choose to Change' and 'Father to Father,' Joey has empowered countless individuals to reintegrate into society, rebuild family connections, and achieve personal milestones such as employment and record sealing. This legacy fuels our commitment to transform lives and strengthen families across generations.
