Black Hawk SD Volunteer Fire Dept CPR Machine

Hi, my name is Deb Ross. In September I went into cardio respiratory arrest… I died. Thanks to my husband and the first responder in this picture, along with other first responders, and the use of the chest compression machine my life was saved. Only 10% of the people who this happens to outside of a medical setting survive. The chest compression machine was the main reason. It freed up the first responder’s hands for them to do other life saving things on me.

When I visited my friends volunteer Fire department I asked them to show me their machine like this as I wanted to see what was responsible for saving my life. I was more than shocked to find out they didn’t have one! They did not have the funds for one. This machine averages about 26 thousand dollars! It breaks my heart knowing that not everyone that has an emergency like I did will not have the same life saving equipment as I did. I have made it my mission to change that. 100% of the money raised will go to the Black Hawk South Dakota Volunteer Fire Department specifically for the Lucas compression machine.
