Jeanie: Shriners There When Needed

JeanieS: Before the shoes, I spent a few days at the Shriner’s Hospital. No surgeries – just tests. Checking my back. Checking my feet. Checking my legs. There were dozens of kids there my age – many paralyzed with polio. Shriner’s has been an indelible part of Spokane. I can’t imagine where these children will go without Shriner’s. This “recession” is like a bad cancer, metastasizing into the bone. More here.

Question: Any other stories re: how you or others you know have been helped by Shriners Hospital/Spokane?
