Please Help My Friend
 

My friend has entered a competition to have an aussie cricketer come to her house on Australia day. While it may not seem like a big deal to most of you, it would be huge for her and her family. She's the mother of 4 kids, two of which are still not at school, and one who is special needs. If you can possibly help, all you need to do is open the following link and click vote. You can also share the link on your FB page if you have one.

Thanks so much for taking the time out to do this. I really hope she wins this prize. During the devastating floods last year, she dropped everything to work in her community helping others less fortunate. She turned her house into a second hand depot, taking in donations and helping to sort and distribute. She also baked like there was no tomorrow cooking for those who couldn't.

I don't know a single other person who deserves a little treat more than this woman.

Done:)

voted. tell her random guy from the internet said good luck.

:) whs

Done.

That'll be Australia time (one of them, in summer we have five), roughly 6am on the 19th USA time.

Thanks guys. :) It will be so totally awesome if she wins this comp. She's only about 300 votes behind the winner, so maybe she might pip him at the post if she's lucky. :)

Dazza says that now the competition has been 'Cellarized', it'll go to a million. He has more faith in you guys than I do I think. lol

trac and griff, she says thanks and lots of other very grateful stuff. She's very excited now. :)

well it's gone up by several dozen while I've been watching, so I reckon you'll do it. Yes, I voted. Won't seem to let me vote more than once though ;)

Yeah...funny...I noticed that. But I wonder...

Ha. Clear browser history :p

Vote fo Chainsaw Jones.;)

She's 64 ahead. Come on people.

It seems to have gone a bit viral since the kids started on Facebook. Lol. Now she's worried about getting disqualified. I don't think that's possible though. She hasn't done anything wrong.

Well. They'd have to go looking at ip numbers. And my guess is every single high scoring garden on there has people making multiple votes. None of which is the responsibility of the contestant. It's the worldwideweb. If their systems can't secure single vote only, that's their problem.

As long as the contestants haven't been doing it.

Likewise, there is no rule there saying that you have to be a local to vote. It's a webpage, and the contestants have every right to tell people about it.


(I've noticed it going up in little chunks. There's a 500 vote cushion now ;p)

It's the teenagers. Aden told all his online friends and told them to tell theirs etc. Before you know it, there's hundreds of people voting. Isn't that what fb is all about. Social networking?
