2024 in review

225,000 Solo Parents Reached...and Counting!

2024 was a defining year for Solo Parent—one of growth, impact, and lasting change. Over 225,000 solo parent families were reached, gaining access to vital resources, support, and encouragement to help them thrive. But this year wasn’t just about the numbers—it marked a turning point toward long-term sustainability. With strategic partnerships across government, churches, and the military, significant steps were taken toward a self-sustaining model that will expand support for even more families in the years ahead.

The progress made in 2024 has set the stage for a brighter future for the 14 million single parents and their 22 million children across the U.S. This momentum is a testament to the power of community, generosity, and a shared commitment to ensuring that no solo parent walks alone.

Our story

How It All Started

For years, Robert Beeson thrived as a Grammy Award-winning music executive, and by all appearances, his family did too. But everything changed when his wife walked out, leaving him to raise their three daughters alone. Though this wasn’t the path he would have chosen, the unexpected journey became a profound turning point—one that reshaped his understanding of life, faith, and purpose.

Drawing from his 8 ½ years as a single dad, Robert founded Solo Parent in 2017 to provide the support he wished he had during his own journey. What started as a small support group in Franklin, TN, quickly grew—reaching capacity without a single announcement from the pulpit. Today, Solo Parent has expanded to 18 states, the U.S. military, and international online communities, offering a lifeline to solo parents worldwide. In 2018, Robert shared his story and insights in Going Solo – Hope and Healing for the Single Mom and Dad, published by Focus on the Family.

Since its founding, Solo Parent has impacted over 225,000 solo parents through support groups, resources, podcasts, and daily devotions—helping them move from surviving to thriving.
