Re: Shriners
Shriners has a web-site at http://www.shrinershq.org/. According to their eligibility requirements, if they believe that they can help a child, under the age of 18, they will.
I hope all goes well for you.

Re: Shriners
My son has TBPI and I took him to Philadelphia. Shriners is a wonderful place and will treat any child under the age of 18 that they feel they can help. My son continues to be a patient at Shriners.

Not all shriners are the same very few understand BPI. So Philly is one of the best. but not many shriners deal with bpi. And I think he is asking about the Shriners in L.A.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".
