American Red Cross Training is A Lifetime Experience

[Gardenia C. Hung]

Greetings during Red Cross Month in 2012! My name is Gardenia C. Hung-Wittler. I have been interested in the Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED training since I was in fifth grade in Santiago de Cuba, when the elementary teacher Emma trained us in basic First Aid, Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation, and Advanced Electronic Defibrillator assistance during the 1967-1968. After I have lived in the United States, I also trained to provide First Aid assistance in Chicago at Avondale Elementary School, Madonna High School. During my college years NEIU, Physical Education required training in First Aid/CPR/AED with Herb Parsons our trainer.

American Red Cross First Aid, CPR, and AED training has become more important in the Village of Lombard, during the last 19 years as a Lombard resident homeowner in York Township, Du Page County, Illinois. After my Father and Mother purchased Lombard real estate property as resident homeowners, they both became injured at home by unauthorized trespassers, intruders, and abusers who attacked and injured my parents while they lived in the Village of Lombard as real estate property owners.

I have been able to use the American Red Cross certified training I have received at the College of Du Page with family and friends. In addition, I have attended the American Heart Association CPR/AED training at Alexian Brothers Health Center, the Villa Park First Aid/CPR/AED For Family and Friends, and the Du Page Health Department CPR/AED Basic Training of Survival.

Thanks to the American Red Cross First Aid, CPR, and AED Training, I have been able to help both of my parents when I found them unconscious, injured, and disabled at our Lombard home, 502 S. Westmore-Meyers Road and Washington Blvd., after unauthorized intruders, trespassers, and home invaders abused my parents in Lombard. I had to provide first responders assistance, first aid, CPR and AED for emergency to my parents as Lombard resident homeowners.
