We're a community united in our mission to empower those adversely affected by Domestic Abuse.

10/28/2026

"Why don't they just leave?" It's a question we hear far too often when talking about domestic violence.

But what many people don't realize is that leaving an abusive relationship can be one of the hardest and most dangerous decisions a survivor makes.

Imagine having to choose between staying somewhere unsafe or leaving without money, transportation, housing, or even the basic necessities for your children.

For many survivors, these are real barriers.

This October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we want to encourage everyone to change the conversation.

Instead of asking why someone stayed, let's ask how we can help them find safety.

At On the Wings of Angels, we believe that support should go beyond words. Whether it's providing diapers, filling a gas tank, or helping with temporary shelter, tangible resources can make a life-changing difference.

Share this post to help spread awareness. You never know who may need to see it.

Domestic violence isn’t just having bruises.

Sometimes it looks like controlling finances. Sometimes it's isolation from friends and family. Sometimes it's constant criticism, manipulation, or living in fear of how someone will react.

Abuse comes in many forms, and recognizing the signs is one of the first steps toward breaking the cycle.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and at On the Wings of Angels, we want to do more than raise awareness. We want to make a real difference in the lives of survivors.

Through tangible resources and support, we're helping individuals and families rebuild their lives after abuse.

SPONSOR THANK YOU: KRISTIN BOND, PHOTO BOOTH SPONSOR! At our On the Wings of Angels events, we believe you can do really serious work AND create really joyful spaces. And, Kristin is helping us do exactly that.

We love you, Kristin! You're an OG and we are so grateful for you.

We are SO excited and grateful to have Kristin Bond sponsoring the Photo Booth for our Topgolf for Survivors fundraiser on October 1st!

Because, listen, we put the FUN in fundraising, and there WILL be pictures to prove it.

Our mission deals with incredibly heavy things every single day. We walk alongside survivors during some of the hardest, scariest and most uncertain moments of their lives. So, we love to appreciate JOY even more.

The laughter, friendship, and being silly matters. Standing in a photo booth with people you love, and taking ridiculous pictures while creating memories together matters.

There is something beautiful about gathering a room full of people who care deeply about this mission, and allowing ourselves to have an absolute BLAST, while raising money that will directly change someone’s life.

And, Kristin is helping us create that experience.

Because of sponsors like her, we’re able to cover the expenses of this event, so that ticket proceeds can go directly toward supporting domestic violence survivors and their children.

While we’re taking pictures, laughing, golfing, dancing and making memories, those dollars are becoming housing, transportation, therapy, legal assistance, food, clothing, safety and new beginnings for someone who needs them.

Kristin, thank you for believing in this mission, investing in our survivors, and for giving everyone a place to capture some of the JOY we’re going to experience together that night.

We are so grateful for you and cannot wait to see what happens inside that photo booth!

SPONSOR THANK YOU: BIRMINGHAM SKIN & HAIR AESTHETICS! I will never stop loving successful women using what they have built to help other women rebuild.

We are so grateful to welcome Birmingham Skin & Hair Aesthetics as a Sponsor of our Topgolf for Survivors Fundraiser on October 1st!

BSHA is owned and operated by two incredible medical professionals, Nanette Nawrot, PA-C and Irina Kushelman, PA-C, who have been working alongside one another for nearly 20 YEARS; they even went to graduate school together!

Between them are decades of experience across dermatology, emergency medicine and interventional radiology, along with extensive training and certifications in aesthetics, skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.

I love that underneath all of that expertise is something very human: they treat every person as an individual and take the time to understand what that person actually needs.

There is something beautiful about two women building something together for nearly two decades, and then choosing to use their success to pour back into their community.

Nanette’s and Irina’s sponsorship of this event is helping us put resources directly into the hands of domestic violence survivors and their children.

Our sponsors are making it possible to cover the event’s costs so that ticket proceeds can go toward the things survivors actually need, housing, transportation, therapy, legal assistance, food, clothing, safety, stability and the opportunity to begin again.

Nanette and Irina, THANK YOU for believing in our mission. Thank you for investing in women, and for being women who have spent your careers caring for people and who continue that care outside the walls of your own business.

Thank you for reminding us what happens when women who have built something beautiful reach back and help another woman rise.

We are so grateful to have Birmingham Skin & Hair Aesthetics alongside us, and we cannot wait to celebrate with you at Topgolf!

SPONSOR THANK YOU: ORSA CREDIT UNION! One of my favorite things about this work is watching a connection turn into a relationship, and then watching that relationship turn into ACTION.

That is exactly what has happened with our friends at orsa credit union.

We originally connected through the Choose the Bear Tour, with Laura Killingbeck, which opened the door to important conversations around domestic violence, awareness, safety, and what it actually looks like for a community to stand behind survivors.

And orsa continues to choose to show up again and again!!

We are incredibly grateful to Tansley Stearns , Matt Nahan , Laura, Carrie, and the entire orsa credit union Team, for stepping forward as our Beverage and Dessert Sponsor for Topgolf for Survivors on October 1st!

Behind every organizational partnership are PEOPLE who choose to care, make the introduction, continue the conversation, advocate internally, and decide that supporting their community is worth investing in.

Thank you, orsa team!

There is something really special about organizations that understand community involvement means building relationships, showing up, investing resources, learning about the needs around you and asking, “How can we help?”

Their sponsorship, alongside our other incredible partners, is helping us cover the expenses of this event so that ticket proceeds can go directly toward domestic violence survivors and their children.

Those dollars become emergency housing, transportation, therapy, legal assistance, groceries, clothing, safety and stability, and that is what community partnership can do.

To the entire orsa credit union family, thank you for continuing this relationship beyond the Choose the Bear Tour.

Thank you for championing our mission, showing up for survivors, and for putting action behind your commitment to the community.

We are so grateful this connection brought us together, and even more grateful that it continues to grow!!

We cannot wait to celebrate with you at Topgolf!

SPONSOR THANK YOU: SHADIA AMEN + THE SOCIAL MEDIA STORE! Shadia Amen Shadia Amen Photography has been a special part of On The Wings of Angels from the beginning!

We are so grateful to have Shadia joining us as our Fundraising Event Photographer for Topgolf for Survivors on October 1st, through The Social Media Store!

Shadia has photographed our Fundraising Galas, and captured some of the moments that have meant the absolute most to us.

Located in Corktown in Detroit, The Social Media Store is a full-service creative destination bringing brands, businesses, nonprofits, organizations, and creators together through professional photography, content production, podcasting, education, events, and collaboration.

As General Manager and Lead Photographer, Shadia brings years of experience photographing corporate and nonprofit organizations, major events, and nationally and internationally recognized brands.

She also pours back into other creatives, by leading photography workshops and educational experiences designed to help emerging photographers grow their skills and confidence.

Shadia creates community.

Shadia, thank you for continuing to show up for On the Wings of Angels, giving us photographs that allow us to look back and actually FEEL these moments again.

Thank you for believing in our work, sharing your incredible talent with us, and helping us tell the story of this organization through your lens.

Because, long after an event is over, the photographs remain, and they become part of our history. We are so grateful that you have helped us preserve so much of ours!

We cannot wait to have you capturing all the FUN at Topgolf on October 1st!

We put the FUN in fundraising, and Shadia makes sure we have the pictures to prove it.😉⛳️📸💜🩷

SPONSOR THANK YOU: MATCH REALTY | CYRUS + KATIE WHEELER! It is especially meaningful when people who spend their careers helping others find HOME support an organization that spends so much of its time helping survivors find SAFETY.

We are incredibly grateful to Cyrus Wheeler, Katie Wheeler and Match Realty for sponsoring our Topgolf for Survivors fundraiser on October 1st!

And these two KNOW real estate.

Katie brings over a decade of mortgage and real estate sales experience and has closed more hundreds of properties in the Detroit market, including 50 in a single year. She understands this industry from multiple sides and brings incredible experience, drive and heart to the people she serves.

Cyrus Wheeler, Broker/Owner of Match Realty, has spent more than a decade in real estate and mortgages, helping hundreds of clients achieve their real estate goals and building Match Realty into one of Detroit’s leading real estate teams.

They also both believe in pouring back into the next generation.

Together, Cyrus and Katie represent integrity, transparency, education, relationships and treating the people they serve like family.

You all KNOW how much that resonates with me.

Because, at On the Wings of Angels, we understand better than most that home is so much more than four walls and an address.

For a survivor leaving domestic violence, home can mean the first night she sleeps without fear, having a key that belongs only to her, or finally feeling safe enough to exhale.

And, because Match Realty and our other incredible sponsors have stepped forward to help cover the costs of this event, our ticket proceeds can go directly toward helping survivors and their children rebuild.

Cyrus and Katie, thank you for the way you serve people through your work, the way you invest back into your community, and for choosing to use what you’ve built to help other people build again.

We are so grateful to have Match Realty standing alongside On the Wings of Angels.

October 1 | 6:00–9:30 PM | Topgolf Auburn Hills. 💜🩷🏡

Through her work, she has built a career around leadership, sales, business development, communication, and helping people and organizations recognize what they’re capable of.

What started just a few years ago, as an idea to help survivors differently, has grown into something bigger than I ever could have built alone!

That is because incredible human beings keep stepping forward and saying, “I want to be part of this.”

Tati, thank you for believing in what we’re building, bringing your incredible self to to the table, and, most importantly, for caring about the survivors and children at the heart of every decision we make.

ADVISORY BOARD NEW MEMBER! HELP US WELCOME TINA SILVESTRI! Tina joined our mission before she ever officially had a title.

She has already been showing up for On The Wings of Angels for quite some time; volunteering at several of our events, helping tremendously with our Annual Fundraising Gala auction, building relationships with businesses and community members, and continually finding ways to use her gifts and connections to support the survivors we serve.

And, now, we are SO proud to officially welcome her as one of our newest Advisory Board Members!

Tina brings such an incredible and unique background to our organization.

She currently serves as a Branch Office Administrator at Edward Jones and is a Financial Paraplanner Qualified Professional™.

Before entering the financial industry, she served as both a teacher and principal, and she is also an entrepreneur and founder of Spicy Vibes.

Education, leadership, financial knowledge, entrepreneurship, communication, community building, and, most importantly, a HUGE heart for people.

Those are the kinds of voices we want around our table.

One of my favorite things about the growth of On The Wings of Angels is watching people come into our world, fall in love with the mission, roll up their sleeves, and decide they want to do even more. Tina has done exactly that.

Tina, thank you for showing up before there was ever a title attached to your name.

Thank you for giving your time, talents, relationships, and your heart to this work. We are incredibly lucky to have you, and I cannot wait to see what we continue to build together.

Welcome to the Advisory Board, Tina! 🩷💜
