We have started a charity for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

During our school Spring Break, we spent a week at elementary schools in White Plains, New York telling the students about the troops and the hardships they face. We began a letter writing campaign known as: “Cheer Up the Troops”. We have collected over 1000 letters from the students and staff, and we forwarded them to Iraq along with the kids’ drawings and candy.

Next to letters, the most requested item is any kind of battery operated hand held video device including Gameboys, PSPs, and Nintendo DSs. Most of the soldiers are under 20. Our goal is to collect handheld game machines, batteries and games for every soldier who wants one. We need your help. They can be new or used, as long as they are still working.

We would appreciate one or many, or donations to buy them. If you would like to include a letter of support to the troops, that would be great, too. If you believe in this cause, perhaps you could ask your school, church or temple to support Games For Heroes. If you collect fifty or more game machines, we will send you a letter acknowledging your community service.  Maybe you even know a business that will sponsor this.
