Where We Live

A place of relief and respite from the emotional, relational, medical, and financial challenges Dragonflies experience

Where We Live

In late 2018, The Dragonfly Foundation purchased and began the process of restoring and renovating one of Cincinnati, OH's most historic properties, the Hauck-Heine House at 506 Oak Street.

Located a few short blocks from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, the 0.68 acre property includes a main house (11,720 sq. ft.), a carriage house (3,082 sq. ft.), ample parking, and a beautifully-wooded yard. The Oak Street property has the capacity to support the organization’s continued growth.

Dragonfly is working to fund the complete restoration/renovation of the property to provide a place where families can receive critical patient and family services. Interior and exterior spaces will open as resources allow.

The Landing

Dragonfly will preserve for posterity the home’s original artisan finishes as we create a new non-residential facility that registered Dragonfly families can use, regardless of their city of residence. The facility will:

  • Provide Dragonfly families with relief and respite from the emotional, relational, medical and financial challenges they experience
  • Create a safe, warm, nurturing ecosystem where Dragonflies can land, find precious opportunities for joy, reduce feelings of isolation, and be comforted by the fact that they are never alone with Dragonfly
  • Enable Dragonfly to serve more patients/families, and to expand programs and services
