Hi, My name is Kate we are making this our mission to raise funds for the acquisition of Bleed Control Kits and cabinets strategically placed across Norfolk. This endeavor is a heartfelt tribute to the memory of Raymond James Quigley, an 18-year-old who tragically lost his life to a stabbing in January 2023. The availability of a Bleed Control Kit might have made a critical difference in saving his life.

A Bleed Control Kit is a specially designed emergency medical kit that offers swift access to essential medical tools for first responders from the general public. Every year, countless lives are lost due to traumatic bleeding, some of which could have been prevented with timely access to the right equipment.

Our goal is to ensure these life-saving kits are readily available in as many public spaces as possible. This widespread accessibility enables the public to act swiftly during crucial moments, as heroes often emerge from everyday individuals at the scene. The locations of these kits are cataloged in a national database accessible to emergency services, ensuring prompt assistance.

Each Bleed Control Kit, contains vital tools such as a tourniquet, large trauma dressing, Fox seal chest seal, disposable gloves, scissors, an emergency foil blanket, CPR face mask, and ChitoGauze XR Pro, an effective dressing for controlling severe hemorrhages. Access to these tools can make a pivotal difference and potentially save lives.

By supporting this cause, we aim to make Bleed Control Kits and cabinets a ubiquitous presence, empowering the public to be immediate responders and prevent avoidable tragedies. Your contribution can play a significant role in creating safer communities and ensuring that those vital first minutes count.
