Help buy a defibrillator for Negril Emergency Service

Some of you know me, many probably don't.

For 5 years I was Director of Friends of Jamaica USA and helped complete many projects in Jamaica. That charity is no longer in existence, but I continue to help with projects. I guess it's in my blood. :)

Last month, a group of Jamaica-loving friends gathered at a Caribbean Festival in the Quad Cities and got the ball rolling to buy an AED (defibrillator) for the Negril Emergency Service. Budget constraints in Jamaica mean the Emergency Crews often work without needed supplies. A defibrillator is a basic piece of equipment that can save many lives, and Negril EMS does not have one.

Please help us exceed our goal with this fundraiser!

I got some pictures from the District Officer for EMS in Negril, Mrs. Seaton. Donations are coming in. Please give what you can by Sep 30th.

I wanted to give this post a bump to the top. I have never met Nurse Marcia but I know from reading posts over the years that she has done a lot to help people in Jamaica. This seems like a very worthwhile cause to me, and I hope more of the board family will help to make this happen.

I'm bringing this to the top again, to encourage everyone to take a look at the fundraiser. I've donated $10 - (for now) and challenge everyone to match or exceed that. No donation is too small.

I've heard so many people say they want to help and give back to the place that gives us so much happiness - and this is an easy way to do that!

Please take a minute and donate today! There are 2 weeks left. (The site is safe and has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau)

Thanks Marcia for the hard work. Hope the donation helps buy a defibrillator.

Thanks, Ziggy. I just made a donation to kick of the final 10 days. We're getting there, but still need everyone's help. This is an easy way to make a difference!

We are almost half way there, I know we can do it. Only 9 days left.

Thanks, Ziggy!! Bringing this back to the top.

I often hear people say they want to help in Jamaica. This is one way to do that.
