Helping Families Find Hope in Recovery
A family recovery center offering support, resources, and hope to those impacted by substance use or loss.
You Don't Have to Walk This Road Alone
Sara’s House of Hope is a nonprofit ministry and Family Recovery Center offering education, support groups, and compassionate care to those impacted by a loved one’s substance use or loss.
Founded in memory of Sara Mishler—who passed away from an overdose in 2015—our mission is to help, heal, and strengthen families with grace, truth, and community.
We believe there is always hope—and healing begins when you know you’re not alone.
This is where her story ended—and ours began.
The hurt may remain in memory, but healing means it no longer holds power over our story.
A reminder we hold close at Sara’s House of Hope

Sara’s Life Inspires Our Mission
What started with the unimaginable loss of our daughter, Sara, has grown into a space for others to find comfort, community, and lasting hope.
We asked Sara’s friends and family to send us pictures of how they knew Sara, the video below was the result of that request.
Words That Stay With Us
We are grateful to those who allowed us to share their words and experiences.
"What Sara's House of Hope has done for me is help me to become stronger. To realize that I am not alone in my grief and family addiction journey.
This amazing place has also helped me come to more realization of people and addiction and how it affects the whole family and the day-to-day battle it is for everyone involved.
I have been dealing with addictions in my family since my early years and never really thought about how it affects the whole family until I lost my firstborn baby girl almost 10 years ago.
I am now an older single parent raising my grandson/ son. He was introduced to many street drugs in vitro and now growing up has to deal with the loss of his mom, being raised by a single older grandparent, and fight his battles with addiction to one thing or another.
Lori and her house of hope have supported both of us so deeply in many ways it's so hard to put in words.
I helped years ago work with "Grandparents Raising Grandchildren" and "Opioid Crisis Laws" and I felt then finally that that was what I needed to keep doing but was unsure how so I kept praying. I finally got introduced to Sara's House of Hope and Lori almost a year ago. It was d/t sad circumstances but has been the best most amazing turn in our family's lives.
I was involved in her grandparent's group and felt so strong finally to talk and hear stories like mine and my family's. Everyone had most of the same feelings I have had for many years now silently. Lori gave me the opportunity to facilitate the grandparents group recently and my heart feels complete, determined to help others which helps me, sad that this is needed by so many, and humbled that Sara's House of Hope and Lori trust my journey experiences to be part of their journey in this battle of addiction, support, healing and recovery.
My words do not do Sara's House of Hope justice I feel because it is hard to put into words what this has truly done for myself and my boy and our journey.
I am so grateful there is such an amazing, beautiful, full-service recovery house like this."
