Meet Our Staff
Lindsey Sarnecki
Lindsey, Director of Dottie’s Refuge, is a 2013 graduate of the program and
brings 13 years of recovery experience. Lindsey leads with compassion and
understanding, having walked through many of the same struggles faced by the
women she now serves. Since her own transformation, she has served on the
Dottie’s Refuge Board of Directors, worked with Wheeler Mission and Stability First, and partnered with several recovery programs and ministries across Indiana. Her heart for mentorship and discipleship reflects the life-changing impact these relationships have had on her journey.
Today, Lindsey’s mission is to help women rebuild their lives by providing a safe, loving, and stable environment. She has witnessed firsthand how broken relationships and unresolved trauma often lead individuals to seek comfort in
substances, and her heart is to help them find healing through healthy relationships—and ultimately through a deep, restorative relationship with Christ.
