On the front line, seconds matter. Hemostatic dressings help medics control life-threatening bleeding fast—often in 2–4 minutes and even where a tourniquet can’t be used. That’s why they’re one of our most requested items.
Help us put more in the medics' hands today.

5 people were killed, 26 injured — including children and a pregnant woman.
Homes were damaged, and the city spent the night in shelters and smoke.
