As many of you know, I work for a portfolio of innovative companies doing great work. One of them is Kinergy Health. Kinergy Health provides a platform and services that is a collaborative network of care and resources with the patient at the center. It was founded by Gail Embt, a technology executive and caregiver to her Alzheimer’s-stricken mother.

As a startup, we are pursuing funding opportunities. One of the ways we are doing this is through grant support, and here I’d like your help–and it will only cost you a few seconds of your time.

Please help Kinergy Health to reach our goal of 250 votes by voting at https://www.missionmainstreetgrants.com/business/detail/135518 by this Friday, Nov. 15. Kinergy Health only needs 59 more votes to reach our goal so please spread the word through e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter to encourage people in your network to vote. Chase Bank will select twelve of the companies that reach the 250 vote count, and give them 250,000 dollars each to continue their work. We have to get to 250 votes to be considered for the grant.

Voting is easy: click the link, select “Vote,” and use your Facebook login credentials. (We have asked if there are other ways to vote and been told this is the only way.) If you do not have a Facebook account or do not feel you can vote, please consider helping us anyway by sending this on to someone who might vote for us. We know that not everyone is comfortable sharing via Facebook and if we knew any other way to acquire votes, we would let you know.

• If you are or know someone who is a caregiver to an aging parent – vote for us
• If you wonder how you will handle caring for relatives who live in another state – vote for us
• If you know how hard it is to figure out what care is needed and how to get around the healthcare system – vote for us
• If you wish someone you know could have an easier time as a caregiver – vote for us

Kinergy Health needs your help.

Thank you for your support.
