im sending phone cards to our troops.. please help
I have recently had a couple friends come back from Iraq, one was injured pretty severly and we were sitting around chilling one night when one of them brought up a great idea. They thought it would be awesome to send phone cards to the troops overseas for the holiday season to be able to call parents and family back home. Then about three days later i heard of the idea on the Glen Becks radio program. so here is what i am trying to do. I want to send phone cards to as many troops as possible making it a little bit brighter season when i am sure they would rather be at home sitting around a lighted tree.
here is what i am doing. I am collecting money to buy AT&T Phone cards (they are the only international ones i could find) and trying to get names and addresses of troops from indiana primarily but other posts as well and send them a phone card that will hopefully allow them to call their families for christmas. i got this idea from Glenn Becks (dont know if you ever listen to him) but he is on 1190 WOWO every morning. anyways, each phone card costs 15.00 for 33 minutes of talk time. I am going for 100 phone cards which costs 1500.00 before December 10th. I think that will give the cards plenty of time to make it overseas.
I know that going into this some people may have doubts whether or not i will keep the money or use it for the intentions it is meant for. It happened last year when i was collecting money and cards for the local childrens hospital. For that i am planning on keeping every receipt and will email them to anyone who purchases or donates and has doubts about my intentions.
if anyone is interested in either buying anything or making a donation please pm me or make a post. the paypal address i have set up for this is [email protected] . if you have any further questions feel free to email me. I am just trying to make one person who is fighting for me happy this season
