Hello Everyone,

I need your help! I've put in an application for my business to receive a $250,000.00 grant from the Chase Mission Main Street Grants Program! They're giving away twelve of these grants to for profit, small businesses!

Over the past couple years I've done a ton of research and work in trying to find a way to open a small jewelry and gift shop. This year I have become extremely serious about it, planning and dreaming and talking John's ear off about what I wish I could be doing! Winning one of these grants would give me a way to achieve this goal!

I need 250 votes to qualify for the next round, where the judges will decide who gets the grants. You must have a Facebook account to vote but please, please do it! This would mean the world to me! You can follow the link below and vote for my business, it's really easy! Please share with friends and family and encourage them to vote, I really, really need the 250 votes!!!!

Thank you so much for helping me!!!!

Please vote for Zoria's here!:
