“Sandy Valentine, a former New Bern resident, was very supportive of our mission to support women who are rebuilding their lives after incarceration, so she initiated this special tea party fundraiser in 2022. Proceeds benefit My Sister’s House, a transitional home in New Bern to help justice-involved women enjoy a safe and non-judgmental home environment from which they can build a better future,” explained Bonita Simmons, founder of Tried By Fire, Inc.

Tried By Fire, Inc.’s mission is to reduce recidivism and homelessness among justice-involved women, particularly post-incarceration, through their safe shelter, supportive, and non-judgmental program at My Sister’s House on Roundtree Street in New Bern. Tried By Fire, Inc. is a registered 501-c-3 non-profit organization.
