Default AED needed or not…

First time replying…I’m coordinator of Labelle South..156 homes, 3 AEDs, 20 responders, 2 alternates (alternates step in when active responder is unable to participate..vacation, surgery recovery etc)
We asked 100.00 per home 2 years ago in the hopes we could obtain at least 1; our neighborhood evidently saw the value in this program to the tune of 131 home contribution. The initial idea, per Fire house suggestion, was to have enough money to purchase, have pad and battery replacement and Ready alert money in the coffers for 4 years. Unless something major happens…theft etc..we should have enough money we will not have to “beg” our neighbors for nearly 8 years.
This is potentially a program to help save a life of you as a villager and ANY one visiting your home..children, grandkids, renters, visitors etc.
I personally believe that’s an extremely nominal amount for a more than decent possibility I/we can help save your life. I also personally believe if you are NOT interested in participating money wise to our or any other community our people will still ride to your rescue! Those who are responders are extremely passionate about this; we’ll be there for you and will step aside when EMS arrives
