How Fred (and you) are helping families today …

  • "Nineteen years ago I called you in my greatest moment of grief.  I had no idea of what to do next.  One of your counselors returned my call and then sent materials that got us through the worst time of our lives.

    — R.K., Nevada

  • "I called Focus on the Family a few months ago, confused, devastated, and defeated. I had just learned that my wife had been unfaithful, and I was desperate for help. You were kind, gentle, and empathetic. As a result, God has turned the single most devastating incident in my life into something that is strengthening my marriage and my personal walk with Him. Thank you into eternity!"

    — R.M., Kentucky

  • "Last weekend I told my husband of almost 15 years that I was DONE with our marriage. I felt that there was not enough left of our relationship to continue. Later, I went to the Focus on the Family Web site and found some broadcasts on marriage. I listened, cried a lot, and realized that our marriage could be saved. I hope you help many more couples the way you’ve helped us."

    — N.D., New York

  • "When we found out that our 17-year-old daughter was pregnant, I was devastated. So I called Focus. The person I talked to was kind, understanding, and encouraging— the conversation really helped me to think through things rationally. And the resources you sent gave us some good pointers on how to deal with the situation. My daughter gave birth to a healthy baby boy who is now 18 months old and brings delight to our entire family."

    — A.D., Rhode Island

  • "I am 19 years old. For the past couple of years I have been cutting and thought it would be impossible to stop. But you've helped me to be honest about my problem and get the help I need.  I've also been learning to turn to God first and rely on Him for healing.  Thanks for writing about real issues that so many teens struggle with.

    — M.W., Pennsylvania

  • "When my husband and I, both with kids of our own, got married, your ministry’s guidance and your continued faithfulness have influenced us to grow in our walk with God. Focus on the Family is the only ministry we’ve found that has taught us how to live faithfully as a blended family. Thank you so much."

    — B.R., New Mexico

  • "Thanks to Focus, we have a completely different concept of parenthood and family life because of what we've learned from you. You can't even begin to imagine the impact that the Lord, through you, has made in this world."

    "Years ago, I was battling depression. I was heart-broken, unable to cope, and seriously contemplated suicide.  I finally sat down at 2:00 a.m. one morning and wrote a letter to Focus on the Family.  Your response was amazing. Without asking for a penny, you sent me a number of complimentary resources, helped me get counseling, and reassured me that I was not alone.  That realization literally saved my life.  Although life is still challenging at times, I am happier today than ever before, especially since I’ve lived to see my grandchildren.  Thank you . . . thank you . . . thank you!"

    — L.M., California
