Help Us Get The New Helicopter Mission Ready!

A new rescue helicopter is coming to Hawke’s Bay in the coming months, and it will 
save lives.

 

For our crew, it represents hope, enhanced capability, and the ability to reach people in
their most desperate moments.

 

For our community, it means that when the unthinkable happens - a serious accident, a
medical emergency, a life hanging in the balance - help can arrive in the critical time of
need.
One day, that life hanging in the balance could be you. It could be someone you love.

 

But while the helicopter itself is on its way, it cannot do its life-saving work alone.

 

To make this incredible aircraft fully mission-ready, we need specialist equipment
designed specifically for the new helicopter, initial alterations made to the base and
gear for the crew who will fly in it every day.

 

As a charity, these costs are significant, and we simply cannot do this without the support
of kind-hearted people like you.

 

Would you consider making a gift today to help bring this helicopter to life?  
Please donate today to help us purchase this vital equipment!
