Brittany and Robbie Bergquist: Cell Phones for Soldiers

Leanne K Currie-McGhee

This brother and sister duo created Cell Phones for Soldiers, which recycles cell phones and tablets to buy prepaid calling cards for soldiers overseas. They were inspired after hearing about a soldier in Iraq who owed 8,000 dollars for calls home. They asked their friends to donate money and it snow-balled from there. Not satisfied with helping thousands of soldiers with their first organization, they have also created Helping Heroes Home, which assists veterans returning from overseas duty with one-time, emergency funding. The organization has given money to 2,500 veterans and has prevented an estimated 250 foreclosures. Your readers will be in awe of this dynamic duo and their gifts to American soldiers.
