💞 “We couldn’t have asked for more”

A Valentine’s Day filled with laughter and plans for the future changed suddenly when Deb collapsed at dinner with friends. Stace and others immediately began CPR while emergency services were called.

Wellington Free Ambulance crews arrived and took over, working seamlessly alongside other responders to give Deb every possible chance.
