My friends talk about how their fathers contributed to this championship, from the great beyond.

Hence, both parents may prefer that the father contribute money on the side.

But there is another and more fundamental way in which fathers contribute towards the development of their children.

A father of five, Norris who is effectively homeless, no longer contributes to their support, having split from his girlfriend some time ago.

The help from home is not inconsequential: his father contributes over $30,000 the first year.

The father of her three sons, she said, visits occasionally but is unemployed and has contributed little to the family's support.

Her father was a part of the Norwegian resistance movement and contributed by writing secret newspapers with true news.

"You guys are giving me a chemical headache," Jimmy's father contributed.

His father contributed the majority of the capital, Traub some patents and contracts.

Then, her family, friends and Ariel's father contributed $1,000.
