Synopsis

What if the person who saves your life doesn’t look like you, move like you, or access the world the way you do?
What if you could be that person—for someone else?

In First Aid Ally, Christine Faltz Grassman, a blind Red Cross-certified instructor, attorney, and lifelong educator, redefines what it means to be prepared, empowered, and included in emergency response. This powerful 121-page guide is more than just a practical first aid manual—it’s a call to action for a more inclusive and equitable approach to health education and safety.

Written through the lens of lived experience, First Aid Ally teaches essential first aid, CPR, and AED skills while challenging outdated assumptions about who can learn and deliver life-saving care.
