Because of You…
Thousands of survivors have become living proof that generous financial support of Medic One Foundation makes a significant difference—mothers, fathers, children—the stories abound of lives saved and families kept intact, because of you.
“I’m very appreciative to the folks that worked on me, people that came to my house, took me to the helipad, and performed CPR on me. How do they do that for 45 minutes? I’m really appreciative that they didn’t give up.”
“I want to let the firefighters and paramedics know how grateful I am to them for choosing to go out there and be in the communities every day saving lives and being heroes—I would not be here without them.”
“Medic One is a life sustaining organization. It’s not just protecting the life of the fallen individual; they are holding the lives together of entire families.”
“I had the best in my living room, they were the best chance she could have ever had, and they were there. I will do everything that I possibly can to fund and help them.”
“I believe that the paramedics here have two things going for them. Clearly, it’s the training and their attitude about their job and about what they’re motivated to do every day—to keep going, to keep working on someone as long as there is any hope or any chance of saving that life.”
“I’m here today because of the training that the paramedics receive, and the culture that Medic One instills in them is that you keep going. If there is any sign of life, you don’t give up.”
“They’re guardian angles; I have to say they’re just guardian angels. The job that the paramedics and firemen did by saving my daughter—saved me, saved my husband, and saved my son.”
“I can’t thank the paramedics and the Medic One Foundation enough for the work they do in our community. They change people’s lives; they save people’s lives.”
“The things they save are not just that body in the ambulance. They’re saving everyone associated with that person. They saved all of us. Medic One gave us our future.”
“If these paramedics had not trained as hard as they had, if they weren’t as quick at getting to our home, then we would have had a different outcome, and I wouldn’t have my wife today and that’s a huge blessing.”
“I’m just so grateful that this amazing man still gets to be my husband, and that my son gets to grow up knowing the kind of man that he could be and that he should be.”

“It is unbelievable when you are a recipient of that sort of care because it simply saved my life. It is the thing that’s between me being here and me not being here.”
