One day to make a world of difference
What Giving Tuesday?

Why we need your help:
The current health crisis has meant we haven’t been able to carry out any of our usual fundraising activities and events this year, which will have a lasting impact on us financially. Our Critical Care Teams have been on the front line, responding to life-saving emergencies across our region throughout the Coronavirus pandemic.
Meet Mike and Dolores:
In 2019 Mike suffered a near fatal heart attack when he was at home with his wife, Dolores, who performed CPR on Mike until help arrived. After nearly an hour of treatment and CPR, the HIOWAA Critical Care Team miraculously managed to get a pulse. Mike said:
“Had it not been for the Critical Care Team responding so quickly, I would not now be looking forward to celebrating Christmas with my wife and family, making plans for the years ahead. I cannot express how thankful we are to the Air Ambulance. I owe them my life.”
