One of our ambulances was involved in an
accident and is not repairable.
We need a new replacement ambulance and even after the insurance
settlement we are still short on funding to purchase a new
ambulance.
This unexpected expense has caught us by surprise and we are asking
for donations to raise the additional funding.
You may make donations directly to the EMS or through a on-line
secured account we have with Pay-Pal,
which accepts major credit cards for donations.
Our deepest thanks to all of
you that have already contributed towards our goal.

|
|
funding began: early August
2011
updated: 18 Jan 2012 |
To make a secure donation, just
click on the Pay-Pal logo....
Thank you, we appreciate any help you can afford.
