Hi,
I'd like to share this GoFundMe for my dear friend, mentor and client Melinda Joy Miller who is going through a hard time and could use your support. She is an amazing sweet and caring human with so much knowledge and I've had the pleasure of working with her on two books, Shamanic Gardening(about sustainable gardening practices working in ancient knowledge) and Shine The Light (a book for those who are going through Cancer or really any tough time).

I've also learned so much from her studying the Medicine Wheel and wisdom of the ancient Seneca people. She is offering teaching and blessings in return for certain donations and I highly recommend her services.

She is such a kind soul, full of rainbows and light. If you are able to contribute, it would be so appreciated. Thank you!
