AED Machines for Voorhees Fire Dept

Granted by Heroes: WishUponAHeroFoundation
In 2003 the Voorhees Fire Dept received a grant that they used to purchase AED Machines for all of their fire trucks. Like all technology, these machines have a shelf life, become outdated and must be replaced. Now is the time. The Philadelphia HERO Team has met with the Voorhees Fire Department to help raise $8,025 to replace the remaining AED machines they need for their 4 fire trucks. The breakdown in cost for these machines are as followed.

AED Physio-Control LifePack 1000 unit
$2,152.50 - 1 AED Machine
$1,955.75 - 3 additional units/ unit
$8,019.75 Total needed to grant this wish

Fox News in Philadelphia recently aired this story. We've attached the video to this wish.

We encourage everyone who views this wish to please share the wish link on facebook and twitter. These AED devices will definitely help save lives in case a person goes into cardiac arrest.

**UPDATE** Healing Hearts Foundation generously donated an AED machine last night on 6/28. Voorhees Fire Dept still needs 3 AED Machines for their trucks.

*UPDATE*
www.aedprofessionals.com AED Professionals has made a commitment to sell 3 AED's for cost at $5,150

    A special thank you to Michael Palmieri from Lynmar Builders & Voorhees based, Catelli Duo for his generous donation to help purchase 3 AED machines. Without his donation, this wish grant wouldn't have been possible. We'd also like to thank www.aedprofessionals.com for giving us this life-saving equipment at cost, the Star Group Foundation, The Network Exchange and 50andBeyond.com for their donation.
