Vote for Amber L.
Ok guys, I haven't been on NICO in FOREVER, but I was here in the beginning when it was 240sx.org. Back in the OG days. I bought my car 10.... wow. yeah, 10 years ago. Makes me feel old. lol Anyway, my family really needs your help, and it'll only take a few seconds of your time each day (if you so choose to do it each day. even once will help.)

I usually wouldn't post something like this, but this one hits close to home... My cousin was killed Easter monday in a head on collision where a woman fell asleep at the wheel and crossed the double yellows. I went to NC for the funeral. The short version of this is, click the link at the top of this post, and vote for "Amber L. from Kanapolis, NC" This link should take you to page 1 of the nominees. Click "Votes" and then "Sort" and she should be towards the top.

This is not about a vacation, despite the title of the sweepstakes. Winners for July get help with the mortgage for up to a year. That's what this is about. The vacation would just be a bonus.

Chris was an awesome man, that went through one hell of a rough time in his early years, and ended up being one of the most good hearted, loyal, devoted husbands/fathers I've EVER known. He had 3 kids he left behind with his wife Amber, and so far, they all share the same good spirit Chris had.

This is the link to an article by a local paper from his home town.

Thank you in advance, for taking 5 seconds to do this. It means the world to me, as well as the rest of my family. You can vote once a day, so if you think about it in the days ahead, take a few seconds and vote again.


Thanks guys! :-)

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Voted. And it looks like you get one per IP maybe? So I'll be voting from my phone and home as well. I'll be at my parents' this weekend so I'll try to vote once there. Good luck.

Awesome! Thanks guys!

Yeah, the easiest way to find her is on the first page, right above the first person's name/story, you can sort it by votes. She should be at or towards the top. She's in first right now. :-)

Yup, tied to IP. Voted from my phone as well. Seems a bit like cheating, but I'm ok with it.

I voted again from home. That's three votes from me today. Let's keep this thread bumped and hope the rest of NICO continues voting!

The number actually increases by one. If you're not paying attention closely, you'll miss it. Your IP appears to only get one vote per day, so you can only use your current pc once. If you try it from your phone, watch and you'll see the number go up.

Looks like the voting is open from 7/1/10 until 7/31/10. Let's keep this thread bumped so we all remember to vote. I'm much happier to vote for something like this that is actually benefiting a family in need than someone trying to win a useless prize. A single mother with three children cannot, in most cases, easily support that family. C'mon NICO, we can win this one (the other stories are people wanting a vacation, or better TV - this family could actually USE the win).
