Hey, how is everyone? It's been a while.
Anyhow, here's the backstory. Skip to the bottom for pics.
A very good friend of mine is in a contest to win a kitchen renovation. This particular person helped me through a lot, and I can very honestly say that I would not be the person I am without the time and help she gave me during high school. She's a huge volunteerer, did runs for cancer, heart health, etc. Volunteered time to help with high schoolers, made trips to work on orphanages and drug rehab centers in Mexico, all sorts of stuff.
She and her husband are fly fishing guides up in the Shasta area. Not a high paying profession but allows them to do what they love. She's studying to be a nurse as well, so their pay goes to school and living expenses. No kids right now because they don't want to have them until they can take care of them properly. Shasta is a CHEAP area to live in California; there's really nothing out there. Estimated median income in 2000 was $30,000 a year. Median house value in 2000 was $84,500.
They bought a little fixer upper (one of the pics below) and have been working on it for several years. Issue 1 was to get rid of the rats. The kitchen is as you see it in the voting link - no cabinet doors, leaking sink, the works.
She's a person who has given years of her time to others, and this would mean a lot in her life. So if you've got a second to vote and the inclination to do so, please do.

VOTING LINK
Some of the kitchens have 0 votes, others have close to 10,000, so even though the site layout is poor right now, it's quite a stretch to get her close to the line.
