Lets get our community defibrillator available 24/7

His everyone, I'm Sarah and I wanted to try and get an external defibrillator cabinet installed outside the store if anyone is able to help!

Our lovely community has a defibrillator that was kindly donated but it is only available when the shop is open so after a discussion with Michael I thought we could get an external lockbox cabinet from 'the defib store' installed on the outside wall of the store so anyone that needs to use it when the shop is closed can, you just call 111 to access the defib in an emergency!

Did you know the use of a defib in the first 3-5mins can increase survival rate by 40% so the first 5 mins are critical!

What inspired me to try and get this for our community is that 'the defib store' has launched their go public campaign to try and get as many defibs publicly accessible (the fact that only 5% of 9000 defibs around the country are accessible 24/7 made me think ours should be accessible if possible). You can visit www.gopublic.co.nz to check out the cabinets and what could be installed with your help.

Even if you can only spare a few dollars, it will all add up and potentially save a life so please donate if you can! Our family has kicked off the donations with $50 to get the ball rolling.

Thanks for your time!
