I've had a great and long stay at Value Place in Mission, Kansas. Transferee with my job, for a year stay in Kansas. After so many months - six - in such a friendly and safe atmosphere, you kind of feel like you're leaving home. The convenience of extended stay - spacy rooms, laundry mat on site - offered ease and peace of mind. Now, I have to interrupt my stay to return home, Louisiana, to have a much needed surgery. Yea, I've comtemplated putting the surgery off again. Sick leave pay is scary, especially now. Like everybody else, I could use the money to help me over the hump until I can return to work.

I would spend the 5k on catching up on bills. I recently uprooted my family for a job, that did not work out. So now I have 2 house and 2 cars with no job!

Due to the fact that I have no other place to go, I would definitely use the money to continue my stay here at value place.

Thank you

I would use the $ 5000 to bring out my children to see there older brother following his dream as a baseball player. We could only afford 1 plane ticket so I got to come and see him we haven't had a family vacation since the kids were young so that is what I would use it for.

I came to your site to enter the sweepstakes. When I got here, I found the perfect solution for my upcoming trip to San Antonio.
My travel mate is impressed that I found us such nice lodging at such an amazing price! You made me look good and saved me a bundle.
Thanks

I would go down to Wichita ,Kansas and stay at one of the Value
Place Apt/motels, and go help the homeless people there. They have
about 700-800 homeless people on the streets. There are shelters
there for the homeless. It would be great to help them with food
in the shelters' kitchens, and give them the love and advice they
need. To help the people is the best thing for anyone. We will be
blessed to help them.

We have four teenagers and all want to have a car - of course, just as we did when we were teenagers.
We would love to be able to use the $5000.00 to afford to buy them a car. I work two jobs and finding the time to take them all where they need to be gets challenging, so them being able to have a car would not only make them happy but would greatly help the family.

I am a group home manager and it's been really hard trying to to get really good staff so i can take time off with my family and go on vacation.With $5000 i can take my family on vacation and be able to celebrate my baby son graduating from school i did not get to enjoy his graduation because i was under too much stress.

Hi Keegan, thank you for sharing what you would do with $5000, we are sure that your grandparents would love to see you! Value Place has remarkably affordable weekly rates, perhaps if you are not a lucky winner we will be able to accommodate your budget in Florida or another post graduation destination. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation and good luck winning the big bucks!

Being a soon to be college graduate (senior at the University of Evansville), money is a little tight. I would use it to visit my grandparents in Southern Florida after my graduation. They are unable to travel like they used to, due to health reasons, but I'm sure they would love to see me!

Thanks!
Keegan
