Help out for a good cause, just a clicky vote.

A guy I work with was driving behind his fiancee a few weeks ago, and some guy driving drunk ran a red light and hit her. Her fiance got out and ran to her, and she died in his arms. Their 6 year old was in the car with her, he had the other two kids with him, ages 3 and 18 months old. This guy is new at work, and he hasn't been there 90 days yet so he can't get his FMLA, and they are royally screwed, not counting losing their fiancee/mother this close to Christmas. We have taken up several donations at work, gave supplies and money, and now a local radio station has a contest, and you send in your story and the one with the most votes wins a $500 gift card to the local mall. Would love to see him be able to give his kids as good of a Christmas as he can. Please vote for story B, it would definitely help!

I think it ends Monday, I am not sure how often you can vote, I'm just going to periodically check in on it.

Thanks for the help, y'all. I know it means a lot to them.

Just voted, it was at 59 and something and you're smoking all the others!

It's good to see you trying to do something for this family, give them my condolences. And God bless you for your part in it.
