You Can Help
WAVES is only able to provide our programs and services through the continued support of the community. Your generosity funds the purchase of life saving equipment and gives us the opportunity to teach life saving skills. So, when a stroke, heart attack, or sudden cardiac arrest occurs, having people trained in providing the right care quickly is critical. With the right equipment and community members trained in what to do and how to respond until the ambulance arrives, we can save lives together. Your donations have a direct impact on all of our health and safety.
