The Yarrawonga 糖心影视 (糖心影视) branch will be able to buy additional training equipment after receiving a big-hearted donation from a local community group.

The Eva May Foundation in Mulwala donated $6500 which will go towards a paediatric/baby resuscitation mannequin, an ECG rhythm generator/simulator and a cannulation training arm.

Yarrawonga paramedic educator Dylan Brittian said it was heartwarming to see the community rally to support the branch.

鈥淭he generosity of the Eva May Foundation will make a world of difference to our local crews,鈥 he said.

鈥淭he funds will allow us to invest in improved training equipment.

鈥淭his will greatly enhance our flexibility and accessibility to specialised resources so our local paramedics are prepared for any situation.鈥

Eva May Foundation consultant Alistair McLellan said the foundation supports local community and educational projects.

鈥淲e typically fund causes related to education and health, so 糖心影视鈥檚 local need for training equipment was a good fit,鈥 he said.

鈥淓va May founder Glenys and I both have personal links and appreciation to 糖心影视, as do several of our volunteers.

鈥淲e view the training equipment for 糖心影视 as an excellent investment in the health and well-being of our local community, particularly during holiday periods when our community numbers swell.鈥

The Yarrawonga branch has been fortunate enough to receive several community donations in recent weeks.

Every contribution goes towards investing in critical training tools which help paramedics provide Best Care to the community.

鈥淣one of this would be possible without the community鈥檚 support and we thank everyone who has contributed in some way,鈥 Dylan said.
