Hi everyone! I have a big request.

Early this year, I joined an incredible organization called Street Medics Austin. Since then, I have been on over a dozen deployments with them, from the UT Austin protests to Round Rock Pride, taking care of our community members and providing prevention and medical aid when necessary. I have gotten the opportunity to train in various skills so that I am prepared in an emergency situation- including Stop the Bleed(r), multi-rescuer CPR, pre-hospital Basic Life Support, and so much more.

Now I am ready to take the next step - to become certified to be a trainer myself so that I can teach others these life-saving skills.

That’s where you come in! Street Medics Austin is a volunteer-run, 501c3 donor-funded non-profit. To get my Basic Life Support trainer certification costs $450. This would allow me to teach all of the classes provided through SMA - from CPR to Stop the Bleed(r) and beyond. Getting this certification would double our current training capacity, allowing us to give many more people the knowledge and ability to act in an emergency situation. I would love if you would consider donating even $5 towards helping me get certified, so that I can then provide free training through SMA to people all over the Austin area.

I know times are tight for everyone, and your support means the world, even if you can't donate right now.

Please share, like, or comment to help this reach more people. Every dollar helps, not only me, but so many more who will benefit from being trained to provide life-saving emergency care. SMA trainings are always free, so that they are as accessible as possible to the people who need them. Your donation helps make our community safer.

Bonus: If you donate $10 or more, I will mail you an SMA sticker, in one of five cool designs! Want more than one? I will send a sticker for every additional $10, up to 5 stickers per person! Email me your address and the amount of your donation and I will get those in the mail! echo@streetmedicsaustin.org

Extra bonus: If we hit $250, I will put all donors names in a hat and mail someone a shiny SMA branded tumbler cup! I will draw an additional name if we reach the goal of 450!

Have questions? Want to know more? Send me a message and I would be happy to chat about all things SMA!
