$25 Victoria's Secret Gift Card Contest (04/20/09-04/28/09)

Contest Dates: 4/19-4/29

The count starts 12:01 am EST on 4/19/09 and ends at 11:59pm EST on 4/29/09.

Summary: Why am I doing a giveaway to get votes?

Please read the blog entry (first entry in this blog) about the contest. I hope it will inspire you to vote for us as many times as you can, and truly spread the word. The short version is that I’ve lived across the country from my mother for the past 20 years (since I was 4) and I see her, at most, once a year (and I can't remember if I've spent any Mother's Days with her after the divorce). I’m at school in Philly now, and this contest would send her out to NYC so she would be able to visit, and I could bring her down to Philly to show her the life I’m living now. This is an opportunity we will never have if we don’t win a contest like this that flies her out here. (When we see each other each year, I fly out to Iowa to see her and my two siblings living with her because it’s cheaper than the three of them flying out anywhere.)
