August 2nd, 2014 – We are proud to have attended and support Tamera Hill’s Play “I Never Heard my Father Speak,”. Everyday, thousands of children across America never hear the voice of their father. The children of our generation and past generations are yearning to hear their father speak. This play not only brings awareness, but depicts a powerful story of a common family dynamic we are all too familiar with, a fatherless home! “I Never Heard my Father Speak,” is not just a powerful story about putting families back together but it’s about healing and restoration for those who have never heard the voice of a father. We have to bring awareness to this epidemic. Yes, epidemic!
One of the most profound social problems is the widespread father absence in the lives of children. Fathers play a unique and irreplaceable role in the lives of their children. Father absence is a serious problem because 
of the profound life challenges many children experience, who grow up without a father in their lives. Studies have shown the consequences of absentee fathers on children are: living in poverty, greater risk of drug use, early teen pregnancy, educational problems, health problems, emotional and mental health problems, and being victims of child abuse. Our prisons are full of individuals who grew up without a father.
As Tamera proceeds to make this powerful play into a movie that will help America see and experience first hand the the damaging results of fatherless homes, and the affects it can have on our children. “I Never Heard my Father Speak,” will tell the story from a father, child and mother’s viewpoint. We will see the story through their eyes. This is not just a story, but a movement to put father’s back into the lives of their children. Help us make that a reality and donate today at GOFUNDME

One mission on The Blue Heart Foundation is to ensure that underserved children and families have the opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of the San Diego Fair. Children from our partner organizations are able to partake in all the sights, sounds and FOOD that the San Diego Fair has to offer.
We believe that we should use opportunities like this to strengthen our bonds as a community, helping to add to work/life balance. For as we grow we must also bond creating a more cohesive unit. Events like this throughout the year to enrich the community experience as well as invite family and friends to get to interact with the our organizations as well as each other.
This year we had the opportunity to include the Pat On The Back Foundation, Children of Sickle Cell – San Diego, New Alternatives group home, Christian Worship Center Youth 
and families from the National Pan Hellenic Council of San Diego. With multiple organizations joining us as well as youth from the H.E.A.R.T. mentoring program we had an exciting day where fun was had by all. Many of these children had never been to the fair with one exclaiming “Wow… this is so exciting, I can’t believe we’re here!” Please be sure to support us as we work to change children’s lives across San Diego. Be sure to assist as we work to bring children’s dreams to reality by donating and supporting our work. You may donate here via PayPal
