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technology, these machines have a shelf life, become outdated and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.
The Philly HERO Team would like to thank all parties involved
especially Lynmar Builders for their generosity. Without their help
this wish grant wouldn't of been possible. Thanks to AED
Professionals for helping us purchase this life-saving equipment at
cost.
Update: I sent a donation request letter via e-mail to AEDS Today
to see if they can donate thse much needed items. I will keep you
posted an any further updates.
As a Wish Ambassador for Wish Upon A Hero, I would like to work on
your wish. I will make some contacts to see if I may be able to get
these donated. No promises but I will try. I will be in touch with
my progress.
