According to the ZJB report, Over the coming weeks additional purchases of required items for the Glendon Hospital will be made utilizing the remaining funds, which stood at US$3,112.95.

Mrs. Davis in her capacity as Patron, had begun a fund raising in November last year, for Montserrat Red Cross branch, eventually raising $37,000 for the automated external defibrillators (AEDs).

We must apologise to all parties concerned and our readers for an error of fact. In the story here captioned, it stated: “The Red Cross branch patron said that this was the first iPad AEC machine purchased by Dr. Fred Pescatore,…” That was incorrect and should have read instead, “…purchased by Coral Cay.”
