Leesburg-- Some Lee County teens are helping foster children. The High School Cheerleading Team is collecting school supplies and clothing for 26 foster children in Lee County.

Brittany Geeslin knows how expensive it is to get ready for school. And she says foster children don't get enough money from the state to cover all their back to school needs, "I don't know how they can get everything with that much. I don't see it happening."

The teens have collected spirals, binders, pens and clothes.
