Will they know who to call in an EMERGENCY ??

What would happen if you got into a serious accident and emergency personnel needed to contact your loved ones?

Would that person’s phone number be easily accessible?

Many people think that placing all of their emergency contacts on their smartphone will help the EMT’s, but what if your phone is no longer at your side? How can paramedics match you to your phone without a picture ID?

The hCard and Emergency Contacts have aligned their services to bring help to you when you can’t make the call yourself. As a member you can print out a card that has your special ID and a toll-free number, a paramedic can place one call to the number and then Emergency Contacts will call your loved ones, list your allergies, special medical needs and physician contact numbers. The emergency contact card should also include your pharmacy, the closest hospital number and address, and your children’s school information.

In addition to carrying The hCard’s emergency contact card you can:

Have your emergency contacts printed out by every phone and on the fridge

Include the poison control number

Know how to use your alarm system to contact fire, police and medical personnel

Teach your kids how to make an emergency call for help. They’ll need to know to dial 911, provide their full name, address and give a description of the emergency. A good way to prepare is to role play an emergency situation with the phone turned off.

hCard members are also eligible for receiving full Emergency Contacts coverage for all of their family members at a great savings.

Don’t count yourself any longer as one of the few people who carry their emergency contacts. Use the hCard to make the listing of your contacts easy—hopefully you’ll never have to use it.

hCard has a ROSE of a gift for your Mom!

Need a last minute gift for Mom and for all the moms in your life? Then look no further than another fantastic discount deal from The hCard: the Rose Club of America, which is the retail branch of The Latin America Shop of Ecuador. Who doesn’t love gorgeous roses? Go online today to save 10% on 50 to 100 roses shipped from Ecuador. The prices include shipping and handling, freight and taxes.

Buying 50 to 100 roses may sound like a lot of flowers, but think—don’t you have a lot of love and appreciation to spread around? There’s your wife, your mom, your grandma, your step-mom, your sister and sister-in-law; we have special people everywhere!

The color selections vary from reds, to pinks, to yellows, to whites and oranges. Plus, you can order in one color, in a bicolor, or in multiple colors— just $ 88 for the 50, which is a $ 1.76 per rose, or 130 for the 100, which is $ 1.30 per rose.

Once you have received the roses, your job isn’t over yet. You’ll want to ensure that the roses stay beautiful for a long time.

After you take the roses out of the box, remove the rubber bands and plastic.
Fill up a clean vase with un-softened water and add the flower food that’s included to the water.

Remove all of the stems that are below the waterline. By doing this, you’ll prevent decay and keep the water clean. Be quick when you’re ready to remove the stems: cut them and then place them in the water-filled vase after five seconds.

Don’t place the roses near fruit, direct sunlight, a TV or a draft.

Last tip: change the water AND plant food every other day.

By doing these simple steps, you’ll make these Mother’s Day roses see several more Sundays.

Happy Mother’s Day to you and yours!
