"I went through Butterflies 15 back in 2016, and it forever changed my life for the better. I learned so much through the program... They helped get everything I needed to get back on my feet, and with that, today I celebrate over 10 years clean and sober, and I just really encourage anybody struggling to reach out and use these resources and get your life back. You deserve it."

"Tina inspires me in a very personal way because I am a domestic violence survivor myself. I know firsthand what it feels like to feel unheard, unseen, and unsure of where to turn. I chose to sponsor Butterflies 15 because this mission is deeply aligned with my healing and my calling. When I see what Tina has built, I see hope being restored for women who feel like they have none left."

Nikole L.
Sponsor

"I like volunteering for Butterflies 15, because it helps out a very important cause. This organization is saving lives... Women need help and people to lift them up, not tear them down, and this organization lifts them up. It's not about judgment, it's about understanding and growth. About being a part of something so much bigger."

Empowering Adult Women Survivors

Helping Women rise from the trauma of Human Trafficking, Domestic Violence, and Substance Use into lives of hope, healing, and purpose.

How We Help

Butterflies 15 is a Faith-Based Drop-In center to assist women who are survivors of Human Trafficking, Domestic Violence, and Substance Use Disorder. Our vision is to give a solid recovery foundation that offers a springboard for growth to women whose lives have been negatively impacted by trauma so they can transform their lives to achieve their goals.

How You Can Help

We are always grateful and in need of volunteers to help us with various fundraising events, concession work at concerts, activity leaders, mentors, business and organization partners, and advocates who are willing to be the hands and feet to help love on these women.

How You Can Give

Monthly partnerships and financial donations go a long way in the nonprofit world. By donating financially or with goods and services we are able to expand the quality of life and resources provided to the women we serve. We also take product donations such as hygiene/cleaning products and more. You can visit Amazon for our wish list.

Join us for our 11th Annual Gala!

Every year, our gala brings together people who believe that no woman should be defined by her trauma — and this year is no different.

Join us for a special evening at Red Willow Event Center (5805 Woodville Rd, Northwood, OH 43619) as we celebrate the strength and resilience of the women Butterflies 15 serves. Enjoy live DJ music, a 360 photo booth, cash bar, food, a silent auction, raffle, and an inspiring message from guest speaker Kizzy Williams.

Your presence — and your support — helps us continue providing a safe, faith-based space where women rebuilding their lives can find the community, resources, and hope they need to thrive.

Doors open at 6:00pm. Attire: Dressy but not fancy.
