Meet Our Team
My name is Sandi Doss
My name is Sandi Doss, and my life has been profoundly impacted by the transformative power of Jesus's love. My unwavering belief in His ability to bring healing and restoration drives everything I do. As the Founder and Executive Director of A Place For You, my mission is deeply rooted in the conviction that everyone deserves a safe space to experience healing and growth. Inspired by the love and teachings of Jesus Christ, our organization is dedicated to providing just that—a sanctuary where women can find solace, support, and spiritual guidance.
I am a Certified Drug & Alcohol Counselor and have worked in the field of addiction for over 10 years. In 2013, I started working at The Home of Grace for Women in Eightmile, Al., where I gained experience in various positions, including housemother, receptionist, and counselor. In 2019, I became a Certified Drug & Alcohol Counselor and Certified Parenting Facilitator. During my time as a Grad Dorm Supervisor/Counselor, I began to see areas where I felt the Lord calling me to serve.
God has allowed me to walk through every part of the process of recovery myself, equipping me with the compassion, realistic expectations, and experience needed to help others. This ministry was placed deep in my heart over the 10 years I've worked in this field. In November 2023, A Place For You became official, birthed through many tears, and a strong desire to continue helping women and children.
At A Place For You, our purpose goes beyond offering temporary relief; it's about fostering lasting transformation. We believe that by creating an environment of love, acceptance, and discipleship, we can empower women to overcome their challenges and discover their true potential. Through a combination of mentorship, counseling, and practical support, we walk alongside women on their journey towards wholeness, addressing the holistic needs of each woman—mind, body, and spirit—while equipping them with the tools they need to thrive beyond our walls.
I am blessed with a wonderful husband, Chris Doss, and beautiful children who all love the Lord and love helping others. Chris has been my biggest supporter for 10 years in everything we do for the ladies we help. He is a great father to our children and a crucial part of this ministry.
At A Place For You, we're more than just an organization; we're a community united by a common purpose—to love and serve others as Jesus did. I invite you to join us in this mission of hope and restoration because no matter where you've been or what you've faced, there's always a place for you here.

Sean Beatty- Board of Director
My name is Sean Beatty. I didn't struggle with addiction, so my story my differ from some. I battled mental illness for most of my life, and I doubted the existence of a God who really loved me. I spent decades filling my head with science and philosophy, and I lived in a dark place in my own head. I had a mental breakdown in my 20's and terrified my family, and I lost nearly everything. I worked to build my life back up, and I focused on filling it with all the material things I thought would make me happy. By the worlds standards, I was successful. But I was empty. One night in my new house, I was so depressed I couldn't take it any longer, and I was contemplating ending my life. I cried out to this Jesus I had been trying to find and he radically saved me that night. My life has never been the same. I am married to a wonderful Godly woman, and I am attending Bible college. We seek the Lord and try to serve in any area we can.
Mary Tillman- Nurse
My name is Mary Tillman. I am a nuse and work primarily with geriatric patients. I graduated nursing school in 2013 but did not start work as a nurse until COVID in 2020. COVID was not easy but with the Lord, we made it. I am a mother to a 17 year old who will be a senior in high school this coming year. My husband and I have been married 18 years. My dog is like my second child. My greatest treasure is having the Grace of God poured out on me every day. Grace I don't deserve but I am grateful to have.
Sara Lambert -Administrative/ Program Director
My name is Sara Lambert. I was in addiction for over 14 years. My whole family was in addiction. It seemed normal to me until I started losing everything and still couldn't stop! I lost my children, my home, & my mind! It wasn't until I watched my sister Sandi leave that miserable life and go to the Home of Grace in 2013 and succeed that I had hope that I could do it too. In 2014 I decided to make that same decision and follow her footsteps and go to the Home Of Grace. It hasn't always been easy but she has always been the best accountability in my life pushing me forward. That's what we need. Someone who is willing to walk it out with you. that is why my heart is the way it is today for women. It's not about reaching the masses. It's about one at a time. I can't begin to tell you the power of pouring into one person at a time! Today I have restoration in my family, a home, a stable job, a godly husband and the Lord has blessed us with the opportunity for me to help women with my sister and my husband to help men at a transition home. I could have never imagined what the Lord had for me in my brokenness but when we give our mess to God he heals us and gives us our heart's desires. More than we could ever think to ask for!
Kathryn Kihyet Beatty- Board of Director
My name is Kathryn Kihyet Beatty. I was lost in addiction for over 20 years, and I lost everything and everyone that ever mattered to me. My family had given up on me after trying so hard, and for so long, to help me. After multiple treatment centers, even I had lost all hope. I went to the Home of Grace for Women for my final treatment, and I surrendered everything to the Lord, in 2018. My life has been radically changed. Sandi Doss became my mentor, and later one of my closest friends. She brought me through the discipleship, and has continued to speak into my life. I am now working as a women's counselor at another faith based recovery program, and I am married to a Godly man I am grateful to serve in ministry with today.
