This is my second request, so please indulge me.
We really do need your votes. We need a van with a lift. If I have to take her to the doctor or any place else and I rent a van it cost me around $138.00 for one 20 hour period. Please vote as her vote count is lagging behind.

National Mobility Awareness Month contest. They will be giving away a van with a lift. Virginia and I are asking for your vote. They encourage people to vote every day. It is also ok to vote from as many locations as you want. For instance you can vote from your home, the library, and a McDonald, all on the same day, but only once each day from any location. The below link will take you directly there. We also will appreciate if you would put this request on any face book etc. account that you have, [FONT=&quot]so that your friends and family will have the opportunity to vote.[/FONT]

Why not sell the camper van ? (RV I suppose you call it) or get the money from government grant, or from Motability scheme based on the disability allowance - although you might not have that in the USA.

You could go for equity release if you own your house, or get help from a charity. You could get a secondhand one for a reasonable price if you were desperate.

I would have thought that trying to win one is a lost cause anyway, most of those competitions are fixed.

Sorry it is blocked for me, if I was at home base I would be able to vote again and again and again...
 
I have voted a few times...
 
I still feel that a voting popularity contest to relieve stress in a disabled individual is wrong. It's like a hospital holding a lottery for a donated organ based on a panel of three judges based on their American Idol merit. By voting, it would be like I'm encouraging them to continue to hold such contests rather than basing them on something more meaningful. It goes against my better judgment to encourage them to continue with this FORM of contest. I'll suggest something better. Something not biased toward something as belittling as who can get the most votes.
 
NMEDA is doing the promotion to raise $ while raising awareness and tax write-offs for corporate sponsors. Someone is going to win the van, so it might as well be Dick and Virginia!

So, how long is this going on? And how many winners do they choose? Is it just based on who gets the most votes during the time period?

Thank you very much for asking!

Last day to vote is May 10. It is judged by the the top5% of vote getter and then a committee will decide the most needy from that list. Three vans will be given away. Here is a link to FAQ http://www.mobilityawarenessmonth.com/about/faqs/
Here is my humble ask for help.
As it is now I have to rent a van @ over $100.00 a day if I have to take her some where.

I don't know why it would not go thru. Once in a while they send me a confirmation that my vote went thru. Le me now if you get one.
 
I really appreciate all the help, but please keep voting. She is getting up there.
Thanks all.

The web site for voting is back up. It has been down for at least 4 hours.

I wonder if Dickie won the car or whether he'll have to buy one like the rest of us.

So no outcome to post for those who took the trouble to vote in your raffle Dickie?

Voting ended May 10th. We will not know the primary out come until May 15th.
 
To all that voted I thank you very much.
[FONT=&quot]The voting ended May 10th.The first stage is adding up the top 5%. That will be published May 15th. From there the top 5% will go to the independent judging committee. I think she (my wife) has made it into the top 5%. The judges will decide who will get the three vans with lifts. I haven't heard what the judges have for criteria to make their decision on. Neither do I know their ending date. As soon as I hear something I will post it.[/FONT] I especially thank Col for the many many times he voted

I have a rule, I never click on a link on any untrusted website. Especially this one as it seems to get hacked quite often.
