Time is Life: Support CareFlight

When Life Hangs in the Balance

I am raising funds for CareFlight, because life is not bound by endlessness. Life is sacred, life is a gift, trauma can either end or profoundly shape someone’s life. We take life for granted until life throws us into storms we never expected. Life is fragile, and we never know what tomorrow entails. Just pause and imagine yourself as the patient. What would you feel? Helplessness, fear, disbelief, and the sudden sense of not knowing what the future will hold, whether you will wake up. Each day is a gift, each day is a blessing. Time is a lifeline, and when trauma appears, time is critical. Without it, morbidity would be severe, and mortality would arise as a result. CareFlight is the lifeline, the bridge between life and death, the bridge between recovery or chronic morbidity. CareFlight is both an ICU in the sky, and an Emergency department in the sky. Time is critical, so is intervention and stability. The CareFlight specialist emergency and ICU physicians, critical care paramedics, pilots, operations and dispatchers, these heroes are immersed in this realm of life and death every day, but they can’t do it without you and without your support. From search and rescue, to neonatal intensive care, to patient transport, and finally to trauma incidents, CareFlight’s operations span across an ecosystem, and with its rapid response helicopters running could be the difference between morbidity or fatal mortality. Just stop and think, God forbid if something life-threatening occurred to you or your loved ones, who would you rely on for critical care and intervention? That’s what sets CareFlight apart, because they are a charity who choose to give back to the community, who choose to support, and who choose to care. I want to leave you with something to reflect on. Do you want to make an impact in someone’s life? Do you want to be the reason they live? Because through your support and generosity, help can reach the patient within minutes. If so, thank you. I thank you deeply, because you have impacted a life.
