Cellphones for Survivors Campaign

Hello my wonderful tea sippers!

            

Today I am bringing you another nonprofit awareness campaign and requesting all of you to please find it in your hearts to help not only this college student, but also survivors of domestic violence!

Brought to you by Do Something: http://www.dosomething.org/survivors

I will be collecting used cellphones (no chargers or perfect working quality needed!) until January 1, 2014 in order to send them in to the lovely organization where I have completed so many campaigns in the past as this is my favorite nonprofit!

Anywho, all of the cellphones collected will be taken apart and recycled to raise funds for Domestic Violence programs across the country, all I ask is that the cellphone contain a battery. That’s it!

*UPDATE I will now be collecting cellphones until January 1st, 2014!

Relationship Violence And Tech

·         - Funding from your refurbished phone can help a survivor learn how to use one to protect themselves.

·         - What millions don't realize is technology can be dangerous and potentially lethal when in the hands of abusers

How Your Phones Help

·         - Nearly all of the materials found in cell phones can be recycled to make new products.

·         - The money from your recycled or refurbished phones will benefit NNEDV’s Safety Net program which educates victims on ways to use technology to help find safety and escape their abusers.

Before Sending

·         - Remove your password

·         - Deactivate the phone

·         - Erase all personal data

·         - Turn phone off

Please Comment below if you have some old Nokia’s in the junk drawer and I will get in touch with shipping information!

Remember we can all save the world.

Cheers!
