But not done in the sense that we got all the money!
To make a long story short, Melissa and I decided it was better not to pursue the trip to Thailand this Christmas after all, and we are both feeling quite at peace with the situation.
Thanks to all of you who sent out all fundraising suggestions, and especially to those of you who donated a buck (or more)!
Most of the money was easy to return via paypal, but I've still got some $1 sitting here that need to be returned in person. I know who most of you are... might be more of a trick finding you Greenlake people.... to return your dollars and 100 Zambian Kwacha. Please let me know if the money you sent didn't get back to you!
It's been fun...

There’s this girl named Melissa... I think she’s rad...
I’m going to Thailand to see my family at Christmas...
I want to take her with me...
I am poor, yet determined... I’m seeking $1 from 1466 people.
Who Are You, Anyway?
- The Begging Boy
- I live in Seattle, recently graduated from SPU in lingusitics. I ride the bus frequently and enjoy reading good books. I love being overseas, and want badly to show Melissa where I grew up!
What You Can Do
- Donate a dollar via the PayPal link!
- Send a check! (email gettingmelissatothailand@gmail.com for address)
- Make a bid for my '90 Jeep Cherokee! Current: $200
- Suggest creative fundraising ideas. My limited repertoire consists of bake sales and lemonade stands and weekend yard work. I'm willing to make a fool of myself.
- Host or produce a creative fundraiser yourself! Prizes of foreign souvenirs will certainly be granted.
- Spread the word with blog address slips of paper at your favorite coffee shops, fill the hands of strangers, leave them in busses and on telephone poles, and pepper general areas where the generous congregate!
- Share this blog link with a friend, family member, acquaintance or stranger of choice!
