butlerThe Door of Hope helped professional mixed martial arts fighter Ian Butler dream big starting one Christmas morning.

By Erica Andrews – 

It’s Christmas morning and Ian Butler isn’t happy. He sees the lights and tree, but knows there won’t be any presents for him. He’s used to it, having lived on the streets with his mom for eight years, but this Christmas is different. He’s at The Salvation Army Door of Hope in San Diego.

“My best Christmas was actually at the Door of Hope, coming in this room I didn’t think I was going to have any presents,” Butler said, sitting in the room he once lived in at the center. “I woke up Christmas morning and couldn’t open up the door. I thought, ‘What’s going on?’ I pushed open the door and the whole room was full of presents with donations from people. It changed my life completely.”

Butler lived at Door of Hope from the age of 8 to 12. He couldn’t then envision what he’d become by 25.

According to the Regional Task Force on the Homeless in San Diego, 8,506 people currently live on the streets. Door of Hope offers transitional living for homeless women with children, plus career counseling, anger management, domestic violence and substance abuse support and financial management.

“My mom wasn’t financially educated to raise a child,” Butler said. “It’s not like she was on drugs or anything, she just didn’t know how to raise a child and my dad was never involved; I don’t even know him.”

While at Door of Hope, Butler’s mom learned how to save money and provide for her son. Still, Butler yearned for something greater.

One fall, the center paid for Butler to see a San Diego Chargers football game. He saw the players on the field use strength to win the game and in the process inspire fans. He could be a pro athlete too, he thought.

“I was always athletic, but when I went to a Chargers game it opened up the door to be like, ‘So how is he in the NFL? How did he get drafted?’” Butler said. “That really opened up the door for me to actually be an athlete.”

Butler’s talent secured him a wrestling scholarship from the University of Missouri in St. Louis, where he discovered mixed martial arts. He was good, but Butler said he began to get cocky, smoking marijuana and taking pills until it left him unconscious and in the emergency room.

“I died and came back—overdosed actually,” Butler said. “My vision was getting blurry and I was getting ready to go, getting ready to die so I said my last prayer and said, ‘If I make it through this I will never do drugs again.’ They revived me and I woke up. They said they brought me back and I’ve been clean off of drugs ever since.”

Butler survived, but a torn ACL in training derailed his comeback. His doctor told him he wouldn’t be able to fight again, but after a year of rehab, he returned to form.

He recently fought at the Bellator MMA Fighting Championship Tournament in San Diego in front of 16,000 fans, including his family and kids from the Door of Hope program. Butler helped fund their tickets to the event.

“The more I’m successful the more I can inspire and have other kids be successful,” Butler said. “It’s instilled in my heart. “I have a vicious fighting style, but it’s a character of where I came from and what I represent. When I go out there and fight, I know other kids are looking up to me and where I came from.”

Butler gives back to various causes including Fighting for Autism, where he’s the lead fight ambassador, and to the Tap Cancer Out foundation.

“Anybody that was involved in the Door of Hope Salvation Army completely saved my life and made me the person I am today,” Butler said. “It helped me build my character of who I am. When I was a little kid I was very shy; you guys helped bring out the person in me. It made me give back and do all these great things because you saved my life when I was a little kid. Thank you.”
