About Us

What is let your spirit shine S.A.?

When someone feels invisible, what do we want them to feel instead?

  • Hope

  • Connection

  • Permission to Talk

  • Letting people they are NOT alone.

  • Being seen without judgement.

  • To remind people that their life has value even on the days they don’t believe it.

We focus on honoring lives lost, supporting those left behind, and encouraging healing, not shame.

Our Founder: Mary Butler

Hello, I am the CEO, Founder, and Owner of Let Your Spirit Shine Suicide Awareness. I have been chosen for this platform due to the unfortunate challenges that life has sent my way.

I created this organization to educate, empower, and encourage open conversations that can prevent suicide and support mental wellness while turning pain into purpose.

700,000 adolescents attempted suicide in 2025. 2.6 million teens had suicidal thoughts in the 2024 alone. This platform helps youth learning to react, cope with trauma of suicide, and being bullied.

Our long term goals are to bring awareness.

Spirit’s Story

Born in the Spring of 2008. Spirit’s lifelong wish was to meet her biggest inspiration, former president Barack Obama. She enjoyed reading, had a beautiful singing voice, and her favorite TV shows were Martin and Netflix’s On My Block. Her mom can still hear her singing. Spirit has such a warm, loving smile. She can tell you a joke that would you tickled for days.

Spirit took her own life in August 2022. She was an adorable, sweet, and loving 14 year old child.

“They took her shine, I truly miss her.”

-Mary Butler, Mother & Founder.
