On A Positive Note: Connecticut Teen Takes Steps to Protect Community By Installing AEDs
Andrew Fuller, 16, is taking steps to protect his community with some first aid tools. He said after realizing there was a need for more automated external defibrillator, or AEDs, around town, he took it upon himself to start the installation process. "I was getting notifications on my phone about stories of people who were going into cardiac arrest in public places and there not being an AED around," he said. "And I'm like, wait, we don't have them at parks, we don't have them at our beaches. Let's just change that."
With the holidays here, there are so many in our communities who are less fortunate and can use our help all year round. Cheddar News visited two organizations in need of volunteers.
