Default I did it! I asked for my cooling vest.

I have been given so many applications for cooling vest help, and when it comes time to fill out the "income" portion...I freeze. I make too much money to qualify for most programs. Several have told me to "fudge" and no one will know. I simply cant bring myself to fudge my numbers.

The MSF gave me an application that they dont count your income as much as they do your incomce versus your expenses. If you look at it that way, I qualify! So, its good news! I filled out my form, and faxed it today.

I was relieved to not lie. For 3 years I have had folks handing me that application, and telling me to "lie! no one checks those things." I cant lie! I make way too much money to qualify for some of those, and dont want my vest to stop someone else from getting one.

I am so relieved, its over. maybe this year I can have my cooling vest. The honest way.
