We lost our son to choking and started a nonprofit to put LifeVac devices in police vehicles and schools. 7 departments we've equipped have already used theirs to save a life.
My wife and I lost our son to a choking accident at 5 months old in 2022. After we picked ourselves back up we started Maverick's Legacy, a small 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with the goal of making sure first responders and families have the right tools when standard choking protocols fail.
We've donated over 2,900 LifeVac devices to date, with 11 lives saved, 7 of which were by police.
We have a simple matching grant program for departments that want to get equipped. Happy to share details in the comments if anyone is interested or wants to pass it along.
