Be the reason someone goes home tonight.
Two complete first-aid books — free to read, and free to hear read aloud in your language. In the minutes before help arrives, the person who acts is you.
Before you begin — one honest word.
These books teach the fundamentals, and they could help you save a life. They are education, not medical advice, and they do not replace hands-on certification from the American Heart Association or the Red Cross. In a real emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number) first — then act on what you've learned.
Choose your starting point.
