Help buy a defibrillator for Negril Emergency Service

[Lola]

The pads are $50/ set, wow! Would need to raise another $1,000 to provide the service to just 20 people, is that correct?

[Nurse Marcia]

Lola, your math is correct, although I'm puzzled by your comment.

Are you interested in helping?

Come on guys. Don't be cynical about this.

You'll spend 20 bucks on beer which you only rent anyway.....

We'll match the next 20.00 donation.

This fundraiser will buy the AED with all the additional equipment needed to put it into service (that includes 6 sets of pads.) So no, an additional $1000 is not needed at this time to provide the service.

This isn't something that will be used every time the ambulance responds to a call.

There are 5 days left on our fundraiser. We are $340 away from our goal. Won't you please help us go over the top today?

I have had the pleasure of meeting Marcia, who puts in a lot of effort to better Negril in many ways.
How about just a few of you, throw in 10 or 20 dollars.
If you can't afford it, okay, if you don't believe in the cause, fine.
But if you worried about donating over the intenet, it takes 2 minutes, and is through a very secure,site, they took out the exact amount they were suppose to. They give you
a receipt to print out.
So many of us claim we have good '' friends in Negril''.

Do something small for your friend today !!!!

[Nurse Marcia]

Thank you Frank!!

Today, I would like to give you some scenarios where the use of an AED would be appropriate.

You see your housekeeper at your hotel suddenly collapse. You, or another person, determine she is unresponsive and someone calls for help. Someone immediately begins CPR. If the hotel has an AED - this would be the time to use it. If the AED is used, and it provides the shock and your housekeeper regains consciousness - CPR and and the AED were effective. The ambulance arrives and your housekeeper is transported to the hospital. In the ambulance, she suddenly is unresponsive again, and because there is an AED on board, another shock and CPR save her life again and she arrives at the hospital alive.

The same situation could be true if EMS staff is at a gathering, like the Negril Rotary Donkey Races every year in February. They have their AED with them in the First Aid tent and are ready to use it for visitors, vendors, Jamaican residents -- anyone who is there. Having an AED available helps assure that basic emergency services can be provided for visitors and residents alike.

An AED is used in specific situations, such as these.

Wouldn't it be a sad if someone survives an initial incident, and then dies in the ambulance on the way to the hospital because they don't have an AED?

We are $295 away from our goal this morning! So close, with 5 days left.
Let's do this!
