YOU TOO CAN HELP SAVE A LIFE

 

DONATE ONLINE

A human life is priceless. The means to save a life is not. No matter how small or large your donation, your generosity will go a long way towards training volunteers, buying equipment and supplies, and keeping our Rapid Response vehicles on the road.

For example:

€ 10 will buy a box of 100 latex gloves

€ 20 will fuel a voluntary doctor’s car

€ 50 will buy one stethoscope

€ 75 will buy a child’s breathing support

€ 100 will buy defibrillator pads

You can make your donation via our idonate page. LINK to IDONATE

LIFESKILLS TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

ICRR can also come to you and provide your employees with training in CPR/AED* with PHECC certification.** Your place of work will not only be safer, but getting your employees armed with life-saving skills will make communities safer too. Just drop us a line and we will be in touch:

 

*Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used in many emergencies, including heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped.

**An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient. It is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy, which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm.
