Tried By Fire, Inc. believes in Second Chances!

Our program provides safe and supportive shelter for justice-involved women, post-incarceration, at My Sister's House in New Bern, Craven County, NC. This home, dedicated in April 2023, is the first such facility east of Raleigh and north of Wilmington specifically designed for women who have no safe alternative when they are released from prison or jail. Our staff assists and coaches our eight guests with referrals to a variety of existing resources, programs, and services appropriate for their personal transition and reentry goals, including sustainable employment and reunification with their children. "It is remarkable what can be accomplished when you are surrounded by people who believe in you." (Neil deGrasse Tyson)

Our Mission - To provide justice-involved women, post-incarceration, with safe housing in a caring and non-judgmental environment and to assist them with the support and resources needed for a positive and self-reliant future. 

Our Vision - To strengthen lives and communities by assisting justice-involved women realize a better future. 

Our Goals - To reduce recidivism and homelessness among justice-involved women and to ensure public safety by supporting women working on reentry in a home "Where your past doesn't matter."
