Melissa's Adventure Time
Donation protected
Melissa Nix is a giving, bold, kind, creative, wild heart.
She gives constantly and without hesitation.
Now it is our turn to give back to her.
This year Melissa answered a call to travel and explore in the world, took at leave of absence from her job of 13 years as Service Learning Director at Regis University, and is stepping toward the unknown.
Slovenia, Bulgaria, Greece, Austria, Hungary, Macedonia, Spain, Italy, Portugal… Melissa may be any and all of these places in the next six months.
To do this she has rented her home, and gathered all of the resources that she has, and she is still right on the edge financially. While Melissa has been here in Colorado, starting non-profits, volunteering, working tirelessly for justice and love, money has not been the number one priority in her life.
It is our turn to give Melissa some love, adventure, security and hope as she steps onto her midwinter flight halfway around the world.
$20 gets Melissa a bus ride, a bottle of wine, and tasty food.
$40 gets Melissa a breakfast in a strange place, a bike rental to another strange place, and a pair of sandals to replace the ones lost in the previous day’s waterfall adventure.
$100 buys Melissa a safe and lovely place to sleep, AND a mysterious visit to a church which leads her to a quest to find the perfect yarn to knit a scarf for the Virgin.
$XXX gifts Melissa with a little extra freedom to explore herself, which all of us deserve and need, but this lady has earned every single day.
