This dad helps fathers coming out of prison get back on their feet for parenthood.
Oswaldo Ortiz's youngest child, a daughter named Ofirenen, was just a toddler when he had to leave her behind in 2017 to serve a year-long prison sentence for possession of marijuana.
Most importantly, the organization also provides safe transportation home and mental health and mentoring plans to get them back on their feet. There are more than 800,000 incarcerated parents in federal and state prisons and 92% of them are fathers, according to the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse, a federally funded resource for dads.
"We see there's a misconception that fathers behind bars don't care about their kids. We know that they do care," he said."When they held their child for the first time, they did not imagine living a life without them." "The reality was that my father just didn't have the support to stay engaged," Daniels said."It wasn't because he didn't love me."
"When my son was born I found a picture of my father holding me when I was a baby and you could see the love and care in his eyes," Daniels said."What happened between then and me at age 10 when my dad left is what we want to address."
