Vote for Madelyn!

I have a favor to ask, Blogworld: text 104721 to the number 73774. I’ll be your best friend if you vote!

This little cutie is Madelyn. Those other peeps are her dad, JT, and her mom and my great friend, Julie. Madelyn was born with Albinism, a defect of the production of melanin, which results in little or no pigment in the skin, hair, and/eyes. In Madelyn’s case, it’s resulted in vision impairment as well.

Visually Impaired Preschool Services of KY (VIPS) has entered Pepsi’s Refresh Project, a contest that awards funding to organizations with projects coming in education and many other fields. They are entered to win $250K in order to build a new Preschool for Blind and Visually Impaired children in Kentucky. In Madelyn’s case, as well as all the other children in KY suffering from vision impairment, this school would be a huge help in their education and headstart for their future.

If you’re reading this blog today, I ask that you vote for the VIPS program today and help them win this funding. The contest goes until midnight, tomorrow night! So we have less than 48 hours. All you have to do is text or click. And I’m sure you do that all day anyway : )

*Text 104721 to the number 73774. (You get a thank you text and that’s it!)

*You can also click this link to vote through your facebook account. (I’ve been voting and they don’t send anything to you, if you’re worried!)

Thank you! If you vote, please leave me a comment below so I can check/follow your blog! Thanks so much!
