Today is #GivingTuesday! Whether you have donated to Mariposas Sin Fronteras, volunteered with us or simply spread the word about our work, every act of support is greatly appreciated. Visit the link in our bio to make a one time or recurring donation today so that we can continue to support and defend transgender and LGBTQIJ+ people from detention and deportation through moral, legal, and economic support. Thank you. Mariposas dropping in to see Casa Mariposa. Hopefully the houses continues to fill up with lovely mariposas 💕 Join us for another gardening day! We are so excited to be working alongside the youth from the Sowing Remedies program.🌱🌼Due to safety concerns, we will be capping this event at 14 people.

Join us Saturday November 5th to install window bars and do general upkeep on the Casa! Feel free to stop by anytime in between 9AM and 3PM Muchas gracias a todes por ayudarnos hoy! Lo siento que no tomamos muchas fotos - estábamos muy ocupades! Que bien trabajo equipo! 🤩 REPOST @tc.tolbert : Back in May 2022, i thought i'd just need to do a drywall patch or two on this bathroom at @casamariposa_az but as soon as I opened up a little of the wall, I discovered floor to ceiling mold, which led to discovering a shower leak, which led to discovering a completely rotted out sill plate and some real sketchy studs. Many hands and minds and imaginations came together to take it all apart and build it back again, up to code and mold-free and now with a widened ADA accessible entry, a smooth tiled ramp, and grab bars. I am continually humbled by the spirit of community here in Tucson - i'm lucky to be a part of this world. <3 <3 (Photo 1 is the finished bathroom, except for the barn door. The other photos are the bathroom at various stages of demolition and repair, along with many of the wonders who worked on it. You can see we really did have to gut the whole thing, including jacking up the roof and removing the studs!)
