Febuary Donations
We have such a great opportunity! A donor has agreed to match all donations recieved in the month of Febuary up to $11,000. It takes about $15,000 a year to run SWAN so this is awesome! Visit us on Facebook, (Someone Worth Accepting Now) to find out more or donate below.

House Hold Items Needed
Someone Worth Accepting Now is a safe place for women and children who have left violent domestic situations. We run Butterfly House, a 100% volunteer and donation run safe house. We have two women and their children who have gotten back on their feet and are ready to move out of Butterfly House and into their own living situations. This means we need things & stuff - Household goods - for them to have a great start. It is the new year and many people set a resolution to organize, let us help you out. Give us a call at 602-299-5261 and we can take that extra set of dishes that Aunt Susan gave you 6 years ago and you never use off of your hands. We need - furniture, dishes, cookware, linen items, etc. If you have other stuff you would like to donate we appriciate all donations. Anything we can not put directly to use for the house, we sell at garage sales to fund the house. Thank you! |

Too Long
It has been a while since I have posted. Shame on me! So much has been going on that I will give you a quick recap.
The house has been consistently full.
We have had fundraisers and are trying to work to get reoccuring donations to support the house. As little as $10 can be done online and helps so much, we need to raise at least $1,500 a month to keep the house operational. If you think you can help check out this website. https://www.justgive.org/basket?acton=donate&ein=20-1788353
Christmas went really well. In addition to helping all of the women and children in the house, we were also able to distribute toys and gifts to other families which included over 180 children.
Stay tuned, I will be posting much more often!

Volunteers Needed!
It has been crazy at Butterfly House, 2 of the women are having very difficult court items coming up that we are helping them prep for.
That being said, we are looking for some volunteers. We have posted all of the different areas on VolunteerMatch.org and we have gotten 2 responses. It is early so here is to getting an inbox full of matches this afternoon!
Here is what we have out there in case you or someone you know would be a good fit.
- Jeans Against Domestic Violence Week: Asking local offices with a dress code that does not allow Jeans to see a week of jeans for $5 or $10 to employees with profits coming to SWAN
- Drive coordinators: looking for people / companies willing to hold drives for items that are needed at the house: food, toiletries, small gift cards for undergarments, and cleaners.
- House Volunteers: We need people who are willing to spend quality time with the house guests, teach life lessons, listening, being a friend or mentor.
- Bunco / Poker Players: Host a Bunco or Poker Night at your home. Charge a buy in of money, food, cleaners or something else for the house.
Again, keep your fingers crossed that all the needs of Butterfly House and the ladies are taken care of.
