Let’s Get Defibrillators into Kiwi Schools for Heart Kids & their communities!

$4,315 of $105,000 goal
Given by 16 generous donors in over a year

Help us to donate defibrillators into schools around New Zealand, starting with schools with high risk Heart Kids in attendance.

Nationwide

Let’s get a defibrillator into every New Zealand school. We are starting with 35 Kiwi schools that have a child with a Congenital Heart Defect in attendance. The dōTERRA US Healing Hands Foundation has extended to pledge to match up to the equivalent of $15000 USD on all donations received by 31 July 2019!!

We are excited to announce that Dai Henwood has agreed to be our Patron. An amazing entertainer, comedian and Dad, he is also someone who genuinely cares about his community!

We are working closely with Heart Kids, Heartbeat and Wellington Free Ambulance to ensure that the defibrillators are donated where they are most needed. WFA and their agents will provide ongoing education, maintenance and monitoring of the units. These units will be available for use by the wider community and have the potential to save lives of children and adults should they need them.

The LIFEPAK CR AEDs are designed for safe and simple use by the first person at the scene of a sudden cardiac arrest. An internal computer analyses the heart rhythm and guides the user through each step with ClearVoiceTM technology to cut through real- world noises, enhancing clarity and delivering calm voice prompts. The LIFEPAK CR range are the only AED compatible with the frontline ambulance service.

This is the latest technology in the AED market and provides a switch between adult and child mode without requiring a change in pads.

Without immediate treatment, 90-95 per cent of cardiac arrests prove fatal.

Please help us to save lives!
