The article focuses on the charitable organization created by 17-year-old Brittany Bergquist to help deployed U.S. soldiers phone home for free. Three years ago, Bergquist and her younger brother, Robbie, saw a story on TV about a local deployed soldier who had amassed nearly $8,000 in cell-phone charges trying to call home from Iraq. The news segment inspired them to create a charity, Cell Phones for Soldiers, to help him pay off his bill and to aid others in similar situations. They began by organizing fund-raisers like car washes and bake sales. |
