Robby Dawson Home for Women
“The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living.” – Romans 13:12 (NLT)
Find Healing and a New Purpose
Since 1999, Great Lakes Adult & Teen Challenge has provided a refuge for women battling addiction. Our journey began with a small rehab center in Waukesha, Wisconsin, supported by a generous gift from Mrs. Sara White. In 2001, with the help of the Fleck Foundation and the Dawson Family, we moved to a larger facility in Milwaukee’s historic Concordia neighborhood, offering even greater hope and healing.
We named our home in memory of Robby Dawson, a young man who struggled with addiction before passing away in 2001. His story inspires our mission to help women break free from addiction and rediscover their faith.
