Just over 1 hour to go, and I just got bumped out of 1st place! 😫 Help me get back to taking 1st place tonight to go on to the quarter finals! Donate if you can to boost me back up (and for such a good cause!) before the clock runs out tonight! Maybe I’ll take 1st in the last few moments so no one can take it from me! 😉 With your support I can do it!!! 🤞🥇💜🙌💗🫶

HELP!!! I need donations to put me back in 1st place before 10pm Eastern TONIGHT! About 12 hours to go and I need your extra support! If you want to see me win, please watch my place during that last hour, and if you’re able (or someone you know is able) please donate during that last hour! Boost me back into 1st place right before the cut so the other people won’t have a chance to ask for more donations…that’s what happened to me Thursday night and it worked for them to take 1st place! Competitive strategies haha! Now, hopefully I can take it back!!! I just need people who are willing to watch and donate to bump me back into 1st before the cut tonight at 10pm Eastern Time (8pm Mountain Time)!

$1 = 1 extra vote for me, and supports the fight against Breast Cancer! It’s a win-win! 🤗🙌

Please keep your daily free votes going as well! I never know how many votes behind I am and every vote counts!!!🤞🙌💜🙌💗🙌 You all are awesome! Thank you! I feel like I’ve already won!!! 🤗💗🥇🥹🙌💜🫶
