We have been busy today promoting ! From our founder Stephanie Schladitz appearing on WFAA this morning, to Co-Founder Ryan Schladitz talking with KRLD radio, we are all in for spreading the word about our organization as well as the thousands of others here in North Texas.

The support of our community is what allows us to do what we do. Every-single-dollar helps us to be there for families and build resources for the Butterfly Bridge Memorial Sanctuary.

Please consider donating today. Many employers are matching donations for Giving Day today!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for your support!

🦋 Why Butterfly Bridge Foundation?

Every child leaves a story worth remembering.

Our mission is to turn grief into grace and memory into legacy by honoring children gone too soon, supporting the families who carry their memory forward, and creating meaningful opportunities for remembrance, connection, and healing.

Through family support, resources for grieving families and first responders, community programs, and our vision for a permanent sanctuary and memorial space, we are working to make sure these children and their stories are never forgotten.

But none of this happens without people who believe in what we are building.

Whether you give $5, $25, $100, start a fundraiser, or simply share our page with someone you know, every act of support matters.

This North Texas Giving Day, we hope you’ll help us continue building something meaningful for families experiencing unimaginable loss and help us honor the beautiful lives that deserve to be remembered for generations to come. 🦋

Thank you for believing in Butterfly Bridge Foundation and for continuing to stand beside the families we serve. ✨

💜 An Update on Lilah Bailey 💜

Several months ago, our community came together in an incredible way to support Lilah during an unimaginable time in her life. Today, we are so grateful to share a little update with everyone who donated, prayed, shared her story, and supported her family.

Lilah is doing great in school and continues to make progress both physically and emotionally. She is now only under light physical restrictions and continues to attend therapy as she heals.

And, of course, Bobby is never far away. 🐾💜 Bobby is Lilah’s 10 year old girl dog, and Lilah will absolutely correct you if you call her a “he.” 😂 Lilah says Bobby is the only piece she has left from her family, and she continues to bring her so much comfort.

Because of your generosity, Butterfly Bridge Foundation was able to place more than $60,000 into a trust established specifically for Lilah’s benefit, helping ensure that the support this community gave her will continue making a difference for years to come.

Her family asked us to share their continued gratitude with everyone who supported Lilah. Every donation, prayer, share, and act of kindness reminded them that they were not alone during the most difficult time of their lives.

We hope these photos bring a smile to everyone who helped surround this little girl with so much love.

From Lilah’s family and all of us at Butterfly Bridge Foundation, thank you.
