Final Day to Help Give the Gift of Good

by Lindsay Ballard on December 9, 2011 1 Comment

Happy Friday, Friends!

Today is the very last day to cast your vote for the Porter Family to win Home Depot’s Gift of Good.  They are one of only 9 military families in the running to win a $20,000 home makeover from the Home Depot.  You can read more of their story here and here.

I have greatly enjoyed getting to know this family of 9 over the last few weeks, and I would like to thank them for their service to our country.  I know that Dad Tony is the one who is physically serving, but Mom Tina and the children are doing more than their part being back at home without him.

I wish I could pull off one of those surprises that you see on the news – secretly sneak Tony back home from Afghanistan for a Christmas surprise.  But since I can’t, the best thing I can do is rally my Glue Gun Army to vote for the Porter Family one last time.

So, right now, please visit the Home Depot Facebook page and vote for the Porter Family (#9).  All you have to do is click the button next to their name and then click Vote.  There are no sign ups, no email sharing, nothing like that.  It’s just two simple clicks that could change this family’s life.  Would you please vote for the Porters today?

I’d also like to give a public shout out to one of my sweet readers, Gari Ann.  She has posted on her personal Facebook page just about every day, asking for her friends to vote for the Porter Family.  She doesn’t know the Porter family, doesn’t know me personally, and doesn’t even live in our state.  She’s just a sweetie who’s been doing her best to help this holiday season.  Thank you, Gari Ann (and Happy Birthday!).

Speaking of the Home Depot, it’s time to reveal who won the $50 Home Depot gift card from my friends at One Project Closer!

Congrats to Commenter 61, Kjerstin!

I will send you an email to coordinate the OPC guys getting your gift card to you.

Have a great weekend, folks!

    I love these stores, but since I am currently unemployed, I haven’t been in a while. I’d love to find some art for over my bed.
