Is it a stroke?

A stroke victim can suffer brain damage if the symptoms are not recognized quickly.

You can help diagnose stroke, even if you are not a trained professional:

1. Ask the person to smile.
2. Ask him/her to raise both arms.
3. Ask the person to speak a simple sentence.

If the individual has difficulty with any of these simple tasks, call for medical help immediately.



Calendar for Cruz Roja Fundraising Events & Activities

National fund raising and the lottery cover less than one-half of the operating budget for Cruz Roja.

Volunteers work tirelessly on local fund raising events throughout the year to help keep the deficit under control, and to keep our Lakeside community Cruz Roja services available.

You can help by attending these events or by making a donation that is
tax deductible under the tax laws of both the US and Canada.
