Specifically... a soldier. I saw this on the Glenn Beck Show tonight and was just amazed. These two young people have decided that helping the troops was not only worth their time, but they decided it was worth a lot of it. This amazing brother and sister pair has decided that no soldier should ever have to pay to call home again from overseas, and they, unlike a lot of our politicians, are backing their emotions and talk with action.
They found that by recycling old cell phones they could make money and buy phone cards for our troops overseas:
"Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist from Norwell, Mass., with $21 of their own money. Since then, the registered 501c3 non-profit organization has raised almost $1 million in donations and distributed more than 400,000 prepaid calling cards to soldiers serving overseas."
I have said this before, and I will say it again, but this country amazes me. Only in America would a 12 and 13 year old have the opportunity to do something like this. In so many other countries children are what they are born in to... their hopes and dreams are bound to who their parents were. Here though, the only thing that can ever truly limit you is you...
If you want to help these two young people reach their goal of allowing soldiers to call home for free and you have a phone to drop off, click here, to find a location close to you. For more information on this organization, check out their website.
God Bless em...
