Senator Tim Kearney

📣 I want to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the Fathers, Dads, Pops, Papas, Babas, Babbos, Tatas, Tousans, Vatis, and Abbas of the 26th District — this day is for you. 👨 👨🏻 👨🏽 👨🏿 👨‍🦳

💙 To the dads flipping pancakes on Saturday mornings, building forts in the living room, fixing things with duct tape, teaching their kids how to braid hair, ride a bike, juggle a soccer ball, helping with school projects, and making the kids laugh when they need it most.

💙 And to the dads who are doing their best even on the days it doesn’t feel like enough — worrying about the bills, working long hours or two jobs, stretching every dollar, and hoping they’re getting it right. To the dads serving overseas, the dads heading out for the night shift when everyone else is heading in, the dads caring for a child with a disability, and the dads caring for aging parents even as they raise their own kids.

💙 And to the dads carrying quiet grief — the dads who’ve lost a child, the dads navigating distance or complicated relationships — and the dads watching their children grow into young adults with all the pride and complicated mix of feelings that comes with seeing them step out into their own lives.

💙 Happy Father’s Day to all the dads who show up with Delco love, patience, and heart.

📢 Delaware County is receiving $1.05 million in new PHARE funding to help families stay housed, prevent evictions, and preserve affordable homes across our communities.

🏠 As rising rents and limited supply strain residents, this investment strengthens the programs keeping people safe and stable — from eviction prevention and rent help to senior housing support and affordable unit preservation.

💵 These dollars power local partners delivering legal aid, utility assistance, shallow rent support, immigrant senior housing, and home‑sharing options that help people stay rooted in their communities.
