SingleDad's Recommended Resources

Our Background SingleDad.com is the first comprehensive online resource developed for single dads. Created in 2007 by entrepreneur and single father of three Richard “RJ” Jaramillo, the site offers an extensive array of valuable services, advice and referrals to help single dads navigate through the daily challenges of single parenting by providing the highest quality resources and timely information to support the family’s continued health, wealth and general well-being. SingleDad.com is more than just a portal; it’s an interactive, social network that instantly connects single dads nationwide. The online community enables single dads to exchange ideas, build camaraderie and provide helpful tips and advice to each other. Lessons learned from throughout this community can help ease the stress of single parenting while enriching the lives of its members. Addressing the Need While facing the daily challenges of raising three children on his own, Jaramillo realized how few resources were available to help him succeed as a single parent. There were a myriad of resources, support groups, web sites and play groups for single mothers, but none were available for single dads. Aware of the social stigma often associated with single dads, many are referred to as “weekend dads” or some are altogether absent from their children’s lives, Jaramillo was determined to show that there are single dads everywhere dedicated to raising their children – and in need of assistance. While the perception is slowly changing, the number of resources catering to the needs of single dads remains limited. Recognizing this need, and having a desire to help other single dads, Jaramillo created this dynamic online community and resource center. With passion and enthusiasm, the SingleDad.com team is fully committed to making life happen…again, for single dads everywhere.
