"In 2020 I lost one of my best friends to a heart attack. Fast forward three years and I was driving when I started having chest pains. I pulled over and chewed my aspirin and called 911. I had a widowmaker heart attack but I SURVIVED! I am sure this product was a part of that. So many things went right that day including carrying my fob."

"Felt shortness of breath on August 30/22 and a "funny" feeling while out walking by myself. Took the 2 Aspirin, called 911. Ambulance arrived minutes later. Sure enough it was a sudden heart attack.

"My husband & I own a marina. We have 100 seasonal customers here on Lower Buckhorn Lake. Last Thanksgiving weekend I had a chat with a customer that was arriving for the weekend, D is her name. 10 minutes later her husband came to my door and said "Come and see, D wants you to come". So, down the dock I went. D was clammy and her skin tone was grey (remember 10 minutes!) She said she had pressure on her chest and her breathing was labored. By now my husband had come down the dock. "Let's make the call and go get my aspirin" I said. My husband handed me a phone and took off to find my keys which is where I keep a fob. The 911 clerk gave instruction regarding dose and the pharmaceutics were VERY impressed we had provided aspirin prior to their arrival. D was already in surgery by the time her husband finished providing her information at the hospital!!!! When I saw D 2 weeks later, we had a BIG hug and she said she was very grateful that we knew what to do while she was in cardiac arrest."

"I used to be on an Emergency Response Team years ago and had purchased a key FOB holder for ASA just in case I ever needed to assist someone to take ASA experiencing a heart attack (HA). Little did I know it would save my own life. I had no existing health issues at all. Last July, I was off the plane from an out of country visit for only a about 3 hours and at home, when the HA came on. I realized what might be happening and took to two ASA 81 mg from my FOB. Just to rule things out I had my spouse drive me to hospital and walked in. Then after a while it was realized they needed to ship me off to the Heart Institute where they performed the procedure to save my life. I was told a number of times that taking the ASA was the best thing I could have done and it prevented things getting much worse."

"On Nov 26,2025 my buddies and I were skiing opening day at Marmot Basin Jasper. I had a very strange day, which turned out to be GTA (Global Transient Amnesia) after I was driven to Hinton General hospital. My buddies gave me 2 baby aspirin from my backpack. I was the only one carrying it, and had previously purchased 2 of your pill fobs.

I just received my purchase of 4 more pill fobs for my buddies! Cheers and thanks."

"Not long after my brother's heart attack in 2021, I sent him and his wife a half dozen emergency pill fobs. Just recently my sister-in-law told me her story. Someone had come into her place of work and was showing signs of a heart attack. Once she got on the phone with 9-1-1 they asked her if there was any aspirin available. She remembered her key fob and gave the person the aspirin. They were whisked away in the ambulance. There's no info on what happened next, but she felt grateful that the aspirin gave the person a fighting chance. (Update: the person was spotted out walking a few days ago!) I just bought more fobs today. Thanks!!"

"When the emergency unfolded, my dad instinctively knew where to find the keychain and wasted no time in taking the aspirin. It was a swift and decisive action that undoubtedly played a pivotal role in saving his life. As we awaited the ambulance, every passing second felt like an eternity, but the knowledge that he had taken aspirin provided a glimmer of hope amidst the fear and uncertainty. For anyone who values preparedness and the well-being of their loved ones, the "Save a Heart" keychain is an invaluable addition to everyday essentials."

"A friend of mine gave me the pill fob and I put it on my key chain. Two weeks later I used the aspirin in it to give my husband. He was having a heart attack. He had emergency surgery an hour later. I truly believe giving him the aspirin saved his life. Now we both have one on our key chains. Hopefully we will not need them but it’s there in case. I am so happy I had the fob at the time I needed it the most."

"Thank you for this product! My mom has always carried aspirin on her for my entire life and I saw an add for these and thought how important that is. My dad had a heart attack in September and is fortunately okay. While in the hospital with him I ordered 6 pill fobs for my family so we all had aspirin on us going forward. A few days after receiving the pill fobs a coworker began feeling symptoms of a heart attack and thankfully they had aspirin themselves but I felt reassured knowing I had some on me too should it be needed. I highly recommend everyone getting one of these neat little cases!"

"I just wanted to thank you for your product. My husband and I have carried our Save a Heart key fobs with the aspirin for a few years now on our key chains. On Aug. 25 he showed signs of having a heart attack at home. I gave him 2 aspirin to chew from my key fob and called 911. The operator directed me to give him 2 more aspirin which came from his key fob. He was what the emt's called "stemmie" when they did their ekg in the ambulance and rushed him to hospital. He survived thankfully and his cardiologist said that the speed with which he received blood thinners helped in saving him until he could get to hospital and the cath lab. Thank you!"

"One year ago my dad had a heart attack. It was the first in the family and none of us knew what to do. After a stent, medication and aspirin, he was stable. My friend gave me this pill fob to hold two aspirin in case of emergencies like this.

"My sister gave me one of these for my birthday in October after having recently had a stent put in. I just used it today for a co-worker that dropped to the floor with chest pain. I almost used it a week ago for my wife who was having chest pain (The only reason I didn't is I had a bottle of aspirin beside my bed that was closer than my keys). I am going to place an order for several of these and give them to everyone I care about. Saves lives!"

A note from Cassandra

This is why we do what we do.

What started as a simple idea, making emergency aspirin more accessible, has grown into something far more meaningful than I ever imagined.

Knowing that Save A Heart has played a role in helping save lives is something I will never take for granted. Behind every story is a person, a family, and a moment that could have turned out very differently.

I am incredibly grateful to be part of something that helps people be prepared when it matters most. Thank you to everyone who has trusted our product, shared their stories, and taken that extra step to be ready.

This is why we do what we do.
