An Easy Way to Donate
Check out https://www.justgive.org/basket?acton=donate&ein=20-1788353 this is an easy way to make a tax deductible one time donation to SWAN. It is an even better way to make a re-occurring donation. Just sign up and once a month the amount you chose will be automatically donated from you to SWAN. You get emailed a receipt and at the end of the year, everything you need for your taxes is right in your email.
It cost $22.50 per night to provide our services to the women.
The great thing is every penny you donate goes right to helping the women and children. No one gets paid to run SWAN it is 100% volunteers.

Good News / Bad News
The bad news:
We have been trying to get grant money to sustain the house. Grants are an interesting process, and thus far there only have been a few that we are eligible for. Last night we received a response from the first foundation and we were not chosen to receive a grant. It would have been great to receive grant money so we were able to focus just on helping the women without the worry of paying the house bills but alas it wasn't meant to be with this one.
The GOOD news: Oh boy, there is a bunch of good news.
We posted many ways that you can assist yesterday but if you just don't have time for those, what about a monthly sponsorship? You can do any size donation that will be automatically withdrawn each month in any size you want. If 100 individuals donated $15 each month, Butterfly House would be taken care of. All donations are tax deductible and you will receive a monthly newsletter that tells the stories of the women and gives you updates on their progress.

- We have followers on the blog!
- We have also had blog readers from as far away as Vermont!
- It is great to know that what we are putting out here is being viewed. Now, help us spread the word and tell your friends! We are still working on the layout so the blog will be prettier soon.
- We have garage sale day coming up on the 14th but we have already had $32 is sales just from talking about what we had there were a couple of small items picked snatched up by someone who just couldn't wait. It's small but it's a start!
- We have also had interest from two independent business owners for the October Expo. There is still a lot to do with that, but it is a great start.
