    Story

    My name is Teena I used to work with preschool children so had been on a few first aid courses on my work place or locally. My first aid skills are now a little rusty since I left my last job in the childcare sector. I have always promised myself I will refresh my first aid knowledge and fund my own training. Recently we pulled up to help a man that had collapsed and thankfully was in good hands of two locals and from my point of view was very relieved when within 10 minutes a off duty nurse stopped to assist the gentleman in need, it got me thinking what if I was alone and had to perform CPR? would I panic or stay calm? I would love to raise funds for myself and five other people to go on a one day St Johns Ambulance essential first aid training (all ages) so it covers first aid from babies to adults, this is £30 each which I know isn't a lot of money but when I think of paying out for first aid training another bill comes along! Think what can potentially can happen when your out and about, your baby or child is choking or drowns in a pond at home, your partner collapses and stops breathing while on a walk, on holiday, in a restaurant etc, we all hope that there just maybe a off duty or retired doctor, nurse or paramedic close by to help but this isn't always the case and first aid life saving skills are so important for all to learn. I know people are very likely to miss Judge me and think I’m being rude or cheeky asking for money. I’m not asking for funds for a holiday, a car or a party. Go fund me can be for a personal cause and I’m in no way being selfish and people are under no obligation to donate. I have seen many Go fund me requesting funds for Breast implants surgery and people needing to raise money to cover vets bills, if I can raise just another £20 at least I can train. To avoid unnecessary slander and keyboard warriors I have no choice other than to turn off comments on my post many thanks.
