Stand Beside Women who have the Courage to Change

“See Me Beyond My Worst Moments and Worst Choices”

This is the quiet wish of every woman who has faced judgment for her past—a wish for grace, understanding, and a chance to be seen for her true worth.

Too often, the world defines people by their worst decision, their lowest point, or the most challenging path they’ve walked. But at Dismas Home, we believe every woman is more than her mistakes—she is defined by her resilience and her courage to change.

Support with Dignity

At Dismas Home, our residents are met not with shame but with dignity. We listen to their stories without judgment, offering safety, support, and acceptance. Here, women discover that they are worthy of forgiveness, support, and a new beginning.

Our mission is to gently shepherd justice-involved women back into the community, providing not just a second chance but a real one—a lifeline. Join us in their journey.

Dismas Home is more than a program; it’s where women can reconnect with the rhythms of ordinary life: holding a job, cooking a meal, laughing with a friend, and daring to dream again. It’s a place to be seen as a sister, a mother, a friend—someone you can trust with your dreams and heartbreaks.

Expanding into a Second Home

Now, as we grow throughout New Hampshire, we are opening our second home in Rochester. This expansion means more women will be able to find acceptance and support as they rebuild their lives.

Our Courage to Change Campaign goal is to raise $2.5M to purchase our second home and increase awareness of our program and services.

Your Opportunity to Open Doors

The world can feel like a series of closed doors and wary glances. But at Dismas Home, women find acknowledgment and encouragement. We see them for their courage, not just their past. We offer women a real chance to reset their lives and to start again, building their confidence and strengthening their commitment to a better future.

This is your opportunity—to stand beside women who have the courage to change.

Because every woman deserves to be seen for who she is, not just where she’s been.
Because everyone is more than their worst moment.

Join the Mission

Help us meet our goal to raise $2.5 million to renovate our new home at 6 Healthcare Drive in Rochester, New Hampshire, and bring our vision to serve more justice-involved women and provide them with the clinical, social, and emotional support they need to thrive.

When people come in, there are a lot of broken things they are trying to mend. I spoke with a recent graduate, who already lined up all her treatment options and a job. She’s been working ever since she left, and she’s helping take care of some family members, and spending time with her family community. It’s really beautiful to see them actually mend.
