A few months ago we donated a LifeVac to a special needs school in Livingston, NJ. Today we were informed that they recently used it to save a 16 year old boy during a choking emergency when he started to choke on chicken. Two staff members attempted life saving measures, but when the abdominal thrusts were not working, the school nurse jumped into action with the airway clearance device and saved him.
We are so thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in memory of our son, Maverick. We now have 5 lives saved in his honor!

August 5th was an emotional day at the NJ State Fair
We met the Cook Family, who thankfully listened to Maverick’s story and purchased a LifeVac earlier this year to keep their family safer. Zachary, their youngest, had a choking emergency in June 2023 and was rescued by his parents using their LifeVac after Heimlich protocols failed to clear his airway. We are so grateful that these brothers get to grow up together because of this wonderful, lifesaving invention! Zachary’s mother, Chelsea, said, “So beyond grateful to have hugged you guys today! Can’t express how thankful we are for Maverick. Our hero forever.”
Awards
NJ 5th District “Hometown Heroes” Award
We were invited to the NJ Fifth District “Hometown Heroes” Awards hosted by Rep Josh Gottheimer on Friday, December 15, 2023. We accepted the award in tribute to Maverick, as The Chambers Family.
It was an honor to receive the award for the work we have done to raise awareness for choking hazards and rescue options. Our role in saving a local boy's life was highlighted; his parents had purchased a LifeVac after hearing Maverick's story and were able to use it to save him after back blows failed to clear his airway in June 2023.
We sincerely hope this is just the beginning of Maverick's Legacy and encourage everyone to be more prepared in case of a choking emergency. Our goal is for every first responder to have access to these lifesaving tools.
Together we can save a life!
You can watch the full video of the ceremony with this link. We are at the 1:09 mark, if you'd like to watch us receive the award.
United States Army Futures Command Care Award
Maverick's mom, Kim Chambers, was recognized by the United States Army Futures Command with the Command Care Award. This award was in recognition "for exceptional support to her community through dedicated and selfless service."
To receive this recognition was a wonderful experience. We are honored to continue to raise awareness of choking rescue options and to serve our community while building our son's legacy.
What is LifeVac?
As of May 2025 over 3,900 Lives have been saved by LifeVac!! Including over 1,850 kids!
LifeVac is a non-powered, non-invasive, patented airway clearance device to be used when protocol like the Heimlich Maneuver and back-blows fail. It can be used on children, adults, yourself, or on someone you can’t physically perform the Heimlich on. One kit covers EVERYONE.
It has a one-way valve to ensure only suction and clearance of the blockage, with zero chance of back pressure and forcing it down.
