A couple years ago my wife started a small business doing what she loves - veterinary medicine. Since then she's been working 50-80 hours a week trying to build her practice and become self sufficient. So far she hasn't paid herself anything for all the hard work she's put in. Only recently has she been able to break even a couple months being able to both pay the mortgage and the wages of her employees without worrying about paying her suppliers.
A few weeks ago she found out that she could become qualified for a grant given out by Chase. In order for Chase to even look at her application, she needs to get 250 votes from unique people. Unfortunately, her client list hasn't grown enough to supply all these votes (something like 10% voted) so we are asking everybody we know to please vote for her.
If you have the time, and don't mind the hassle of logging into Facebook, we would appreciate it if you vote for her here:

This reduction in debt will allow her to hire more employees, purchase better equipment, and provide better care for her furry/scaly patients.
