They are giving away 4 vans.....in order to qualify for the semifinals, the contestants need to receive a total of 10% of the votes. If Jay stays in 2nd or third place, he will definitely qualify for the semifinals. Then, the judges will look at each person's story, and the support they received, and what they have been doing in their community.....then the vans will be awarded. The guy who is in 1st place is about 15,000 votes of Jay.

As I'm going to bed...about 10:45 EDT.......Jay has 77,835 votes. I'm hoping that we can finish tomorrow at 80,000 :)
Tomorrow is the last voting day, and they will post the finalist list by the 15th. I'll let everyone know as soon as I know.

Thanks so very much to everyone who has helped vote for Jay. ♥♥♥

PS.....Flakes, I think you're officially the voter from furthest away!!! Your prize is my undying gratitude, and a chocolate bar! :love:

Jay wrote this message to us this morning on his support page. Thought I would share:

Happy Friday everyone! Hey, if you don't mind, please think today about how we could use this page going forward after this contest is finished. I have some ideas, but I would like to hear what you think. This is an awesome opportunity to help folks while we wait for the next van contest. I would like to help someone, win a van in the next contest, if I don't win this year. Please submit your ideas on this Facebook thread. Thank-you and God bless!



As of right now, Jay has 77,540 votes.....second place looks fairly secure at this point.
It has been so amazing to watch the numbers go up....the first week of the contest, he had accumulated just over 1,400.
A few of us are writing letters to the NMEDA after the contest to tell the judges how we know Jay, and to tell them why we feel that Jay should be awarded a van.

The voting site seems to be having problems this morning.....there is no extra vote question at this time......only an error message.
I'm gonna wait a few hours to vote and see if it gets repaired.

Thank you doesn't seem like enough to say to everyone who is helping me vote, but it is all I can say. Y'all are amazing for caring about someone you've never met, and I love you all. So, Thank you.....♥♥♥

Sorry for the delay in posting today's bonus answer question. At one point in the day, the answer was different than it is now.
Sometimes, it is True, and other times it is False. So, to avoid confusion, I waited.....
Here is the TRUE statement:
5% of children age 5-17 in the United States has disabilities.

Jay currently has 78,471 votes.....he has definitely made it into the semi final round for the judges to decide. WOOHOO!!!!!
Voting ends tonight at midnight, EDT

Thanks so much for helping!!! ♥♥

It's so weird not voting for Jay tonight... I'm really happy that he was able to hold second place, I hope he will get one of these vans.

I know what you mean! I got up this morning, and headed straight to the voting site.....I was greeted with a notice that voting has ended. Jay finished the voting phase strong in second place with 79,541 votes.
The judges now have a huge decision to make. There were literally hundreds of participants, and they all really deserve a van. I really believe that Jay will be awarded one, and that's the vibe I'm sending into the universe.

Thanks again to everyone who helped me vote for Jay. ♥♥
