Please help us win a wheelchair vehicle

I have entered my daughter, Natasha, into a voting contest to win a new van. Please help us by voting daily at:

http://www.nmeda.com/mobility-awareness-month/heroes/california/merced/1514/natasha-polinko

or go to

MobilityAwarenessMonth.com and click on "Local Heroes" -- input "Polinko"

You can use code 911 to cast an extra 5 votes, but only once.

Thank you so much and forward this if you feel comfortable.
with love,
Doreen

This may seem obvious, but you can't go to both websites to vote daily because they record your IP address. I tried.

Best of luck !!

But it won't take the 911 code as I've already used it. Is there another code I can enter so that I can vote again?

As the world's poorest philanthropist I am always pleased to find a way to help that doesn't require a cash outlay.

Keep us posted on this, ok?

I am truly warmed. The business cards I had made up arrived today. I got to pass out some this afternoon, but Natasha and my respite worker are going downtown tomorrow to Starbucks to pass them out. Unemployment is very high here, so there will be a lot of people.

I'll be busy continuing to try to find a beekeeper to persuade this honeybee hive from our chimney (sigh)!! A group of them were investigating our living quarters the other day....

Because results are only updated every 6 hours, it will continue to show 1638 votes until the next update.

It'll add to my junk e-mail, but what's another junk e-mail, when we can get her a wheelchair?

We ended at 2349 votes,which is most likely not in the top 10%. At least we tried. There are a lot of people in need.

Thanks again.
