Cindi says they love the property, but they need to live closer to a U.S. Veteran&#8217;s medical facility for her husband&#8217;s future medical care. This special need has inspired them to seek an alternative way to sell the home and property.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>To make it work, they need 7,000 entries. Contestants are asked to write on 8.5&#8243; x 11&#8243; sheets of paper a 300-word essay on one of two topics. Topics for the contest are: 1) If you could restore one broken relationship, which would it be and why? or, 2) What is the biggest problem in America and how would you fix it,  if you could?
