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.

Cruz Roja Chapala has a monthly budget of approximately $250,000 pesos. We currently receive about $140,000 pesos per month from patients donating funds to cover the expenses incurred during their treatment.
Our Cruz Roja Chapala Volunteers work tirelessly on local fund raising events throughout the year to obtain the additional $110,000 pesos per month thereby enabling the Cruz Roja Chapala to continue serving the entire Lakeside Community.
We appreciate any help we can get, our resources are stretched to the limit! Please use our help page and give as much as possible. Every Peso or Dollar is important.
