Not all of our neighbors contributed for the AED purchase, but if they ever need it used to restart their heart, it will be.

I totally agree with you. Having worked in the healthcare field for decades, I have seen it all. None of knows what tomorrow may bring....and although I swim a half mile daily and try to eat pretty healthy, I COULD be one of those who need that AED. If I don't ever need it, that would be wonderful. If ONE.......only ONE...neighbor needs it, I'll be so glad we have it in our "hood". If it is never used, that would be great, too! Better to be more safe than sorry.
I'm grateful for those in my neighborhood who went thru the time, effort and 'love' to see that we have an AED in our "hood".
