NewsLady Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 The McCormack Foundation works in Chiriqui to bring in 40-foot containers holding hospital beds, wheelchairs (including specialty wheelchairs), oxygen concentrators, and other durable medical supplies, which are donated to various clinics and other organizations that need them. They also bring in donated prosthetic arms, legs and feet which are reworked and adjusted and given to those individuals who need them. All of these things -- and more -- are collected in the States and brought down especially for the people in Chiriqui. Rubi Cianca, the local representative of the McCormack Foundation, is nominated for the TVN-2 television station "Heroes Por Panama" award. Please! Go to the link in this email and cast your vote! Winning would mean the Foundation could purchase the special equipment needed to more perfectly fit the prosthetics to their clients. You can vote every hour! You can vote from your computer and your tablet and your smart phone! You can vote until November 20!!! Just refresh the page and push the purple button that says "votar". http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/president Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Brandy I just keep the voting site open in one of my browser tabs. After it counts down to zero, you have to do a screen refresh and then can vote again. Is there somewhere we can go to see the voting count for each of the contestants?

Penny Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Brandy I voted my little heart out. What was the final tally and how many votes separated Rubi from the winner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 We voted muchas veces, probably well over 100 times. Sorry to read that your favorite did not prevail, but it was worth the effort. I scanned the comments about all of the candidates, and there were no losers among them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many other 'Heroes competitions' around the globe, the real objective is to raise awareness of good works, and I appreciate that Brandy brought this one to our attention.

Sorry to read that your favorite did not prevail, but it was worth the effort. I scanned the comments about all of the candidates, and there were no losers among them. Bud: This is the most difficult vote to give. All the participants of this contest are doing a very good job with their social projects. I know that the production of the contest and the TV channel will give a lot of exposure and all of them will be seen and people will know the hard and good job they are doing for the community. Also I know that the production of the contest will give them some prices given by sponsors. That's what I heard and I am not so sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a nationa awareness of what all those people are doing for the benefit of the people of their communities. I am not sure but I think they will have some kind of support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
