Help me out here - Backpacks for the homeless

I have worked diligently alongside my cousin to organize a program that distributes backpacks filled with basic necessities - toothpaste, first aid supplies, blankets, etc. - to homeless people in eastern Washington state, where summers are hot and the winters are cold. We have finally built enough steam be ranked 34th out of 1000 ideas to receive a 25,000 dollar grant from Pepsi - But only the top 10 ideas receive funding. All we need your help doing is a simple vote in order to help our dream come true. If you could find it in your heart to vote at this link below, which only takes a few minutes, you will receive +k (which is the best i can do for all of you - you really would deserve it) and forever will be helping a fellow skier. Thanks a ton for your time!

Why the fuck is yours 26th? the rest of them arn't nearly as helpful, ones about a skatepark, and the one in first place is about getting kids to eat healthy. Homeless people have a hard time surviving, kids on the other hand can easily fix their problem by not eating like a fatass
