It has been just over two weeks since we launched Butterfly Boxes, and the response has been unbelievable.  It is not an exaggeration to report that every day has brought multiple Amazon deliveries and/or complete bag drop offs.  The generosity of friends, family, online acquaintances, and complete strangers has astounded us both, and reaffirmed for us that the good can outweigh the bad in this world.

In addition to the daily drop-offs on our doorstep, we have heard from community members who are arranging group efforts for Butterfly Boxes.  Neighbors who have chosen us to be their winter giving recipients, classrooms working together to assemble bags, work retreats using their downtime to craft for us, and a dental office sending toothbrushes and toothpaste.  Each day has brought a new excitement for us, and the number of texts back and forth that contain some version of "Holy cow...can you believe this?" increases daily.

But, we can't get too caught up in all this excitement and awe.  The work is just beginning.  We are turning all these wonderful donations into complete Butterfly Boxes that will be put into the arms of newly resettled refugees soon.  We are working out details for a partnership with a local refugee organization.  We are fine tuning our shopping lists.  We are working out the best ways to communicate with all of you.  You, who have blown us all away with generosity and love for this idea of ours.

And so, before we move any further, we want to take a minute to say THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us, talked about us, shared our story.  Please, continue sharing, continue talking, continue supporting.  We have big plans for this ​little project, but none of it will mean anything without the continued support of our community.

Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.
