We are nothing short of overwhelmed!  Nearly $600 in just a few hours after one national radio mention!  The power of the media is only rivaled by the power of the human spirit. 

We are not PR people, just a crazy family trying to help, and we are making this up as we go along.  But we are continuing to try and make the media contacts necessary to get the word out.  Feel free to let us know if you know anybody.

The next projects include getting discounts on the calling cards from AT&T and getting retailers to place collection bins with their calling card displays in the stores.  It’s a win/win if we can combine sales for the stores with donations for our soldiers and their families.  Again, don’t be shy if you know anyone who can help.

Once again, thank you radio listeners!  I am deliberately not mentioning the name of the show as it has a political bent (don’t they all) and I don’t want to discourage anyone from giving.  Maybe we can eventually get the left, right and middle to challenge each other to see who can better support the troops on GIPhoneHome.com.  Wouldn’t that be great?  I can promise that the winner of that competition would be the child who gets to talk to her Mom or Dad who is stationed half way around the world!

What is going on?

It's as simple as this. our soldiers overseas can't afford to call home, and we need to take care of them. We are collecting calling cards to send to them. Send calling cards or you can donate directly into our paypal account and we will buy and send the cards for you.

There are several ways to donate:

Best: Visit any Compass Bank or Bank of America branch - 100% of your donation goes to the troops!

2nd Best: Click on the Make A Donation button above to use PayPal (PayPal gets a small percentage off the top for their service fee)

Additional Option: Mail AT&T International calling cards to: GI Phone Home - PO Box 63262 Phoenix, AZ 85082
