Typically this blog is written from the we standpoint, because we have to work together to get everything done for SWAN, but today on a personal note.....
Executive Director Amilia has been super busy working on legislative issues and perpetrator accountability. She has had several speaking engagements recently and been touring prisons. Busy lady, but in her free time, she is providing direct services to women, making sure Butterfly House is ready for the May 1st opening and oh yeah...moving someone into Butterfly House because they needed to get out of their situation with a 4 month old baby!
Amilia is an inspiration to me, a survivor herself she is working to help so many more people in the world, supports other non-profits, and is being a mom to a household of 7 kids (there's a dog too!) It take a lot of hours and I am not really sure when she sleeps. When I answered a Volunteer Match ad I never thought I would be as involved as I am, but Amilia drove 50 miles to meet with me personally and there was a light and positive energy that I just had to be involved and every time I see her, she is positive and has a smile and a hug for everyone.
Oh yeah, and like everyone at SWAN - She volunteers!
Keep up the good work Amilia, I am proud to be part of the team!
