In the area where I used to live, I always complained that the shuls did not have AEDs. If I had money, I would have donated them, but I’m not wealthy and didn’t have enough to donate even one to my own shul. I used to say that the shuls will get AEDs as soon as someone has a heart attack and dies in shul, but I don’t know who would want to volunteer to be the one.
My friend’s father was niftar in shul. The next time I was in that shul, a few weeks after, I saw an AED. I just wish other shuls wouldn’t wait for someone else before they get them too.
