Defibrilator for homeless drop in
Set up in 2013 after the death of Craig White.
A son, dad, uncle and brother, Craig's sister and her husband started the charity as their way to honour his memory.
Coffee4Craig operate a seven night a week drop in for those experiencing homelessness in Manchester, UK.
They have been working since 2013, growing and developing the service to meet the needs of the community.
Sadly, this support can sometimes lead to emergency situations, life and death situations.
On the 12th of November we had one of these life and death situations, luckily we have a medical team on site each night, but when the gentleman in question had a cardiac arrest we did not have a defibrillator to hand.
The nearest one had a dead battery.
Through the determination and continued CPR from the medic this chap survived, but it could have been a very different story.
Can you help us to buy our own defibrillator, so this never happens again and we always have life saving equipment on site.
Thank you for reading & sharing
