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.
Being at the Women’s Dismas House and having everyone here believing in me and helping me to believe in myself again has shown me that I’ve always had the capacity to get sober and stay sober and to be the best version of myself that I want to be and have regained. I know that the hard work will never end and I won’t get a certificate of completion for my sobriety. I must continue with it for the rest of my life, but I know now that it’s possible, thanks for believing in me.
Sometimes life presents you with difficult choices, and sometimes none of the options are good ones. Alex Garrison’s son, Connor, was born with cerebral palsy and many special needs that required surgery. Alex worked hard to provide for his family, and his efforts were rewarded with a promotion at work. The promotion meant more money for the family. It also meant that they no longer qualified for state medical coverage for their son’s surgery.
