Your gifts, both large and small, will help us to achieve our mission of helping those affected by our cause.
Your gift will help Dismas provide a safe and supportive home for individuals who are working to rebuild their lives and their relationships with friends, families, and neighbors after incarceration. Thank you in advance for your generous support. Dismas depends on its donors and volunteer support to maintain our mission. Since 1986, we have been dedicated to helping individuals who have been through the corrections system readjust to society once again.
I relapsed into drinking and drugs. The VA took away all my pills, and I spiraled. Despite brief moments of stability—a townhouse, a truck—I was eventually arrested for possession and spent two years homeless. Eventually, I connected with Vet’s Inc. in Bradford, Vermont, a readjustment house for homeless Veterans. I received counseling and therapy, saved money, paid off debt, and bought a car. But my time there ended abruptly, and I landed in prison.
Dismas isn't just a home; it is a community, not just of the residents who live here but also of the staff and volunteers who come every day. Today, after one year of sobriety, I feel like a completely different person. I can proudly say that I am a hard worker, I have integrity, and I care not only about others but also about myself. I am beyond grateful to have been given the chance to reside at Dismas.
