Happy Father's Day - DIYFather celebrates with brave dads

DIYFather wishes all dads in Australia and New Zealand a happy Father's Day 2009. This year the three directors of DIYFather Scott, Eric and Stefan have made it their mission to help a group of dads in difficult circumstances on Father's Day. Today 10 fathers at Ronald McDonald House in Wellington received special dad packs with gifts and treats for the whole family.

On Father's Day it's easy to remember that dads are heroes in many different forms – there are the Super Hero Dads, the Sports Hero Dads, and the DIY Hero Dads to name a few. A less known type of Dad is the Unsung Hero Dad. All of the superhuman powers and skills combined wouldn't cut it in the environment that these Dads face on a daily basis. The environment of Unsung Hero Dads is a special care facility and this group of outstanding Dads who will be spending their Father’s Day providing comfort to their children deserve a special mention today.

By delivering a Dad Pack to Unsung Hero Dads, DIYFather aims to provide a small token of support and acknowledgement to these pillars of strength. The Packs include a few treats for dads and children including, sweets, toys, skin care products, CDs, magazines, clothes, accessories and a copy of DIYFather's Call Me Dad book.

DIYFather wishes to thank Plunket, the Ministry of Social Development, Barnardos, Parents Centre, the Families Commission, SPARC, Phil and Teds, Olive Skincare, Aromababy, Kids Music, The Breeze FM, blokeswhobake.co.nz, BDM Grange, Resene, Seven Steps to Baby Bliss, Fisher-Price Little People®, Ronald McDonald House and all other organisations who have contributed to the Father's Day dad pack.
