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.
Now that Kate is in her own apartment and living by herself, she still feels the support of the Women’s Dismas House and her sober network. She attends dinners at the house weekly and participates in many of their group activities. When asked about her first night in her apartment, she said, “It was so nice, such a good feeling. I worked really hard to make it to this point and I know that if I hadn’t put in the work, I wouldn’t be here.”
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.
