The above working list is subject to change, should the heart child change schools before a donation is made.
However, if an AED has already been given, it remains with the school. We will then add their new school to our working list if they don't have one

-
Name of heart kid

Age of heart kid and years expected to attend
-
Parent name and email
-
School name, contact person, phone, email and address
-
Confirmation that the school doesn’t have an AED and would like to have one
-
Family approval for a photo to be shared on our social media and website
Wish List = funding needed!
