BRENHAM SHRINE CLUB HELPS CHILD IN NEED
The Brenham Shrine Club recently received an urgent request to help a child in need.
The child was an 18-month-old that had suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns to over 40% of their body.
This patient was referred to Shriners Children’s Hospital of Texas, a facility that is world renowned for its burn center and care.
The Air Transportation cost to take the child there exceeded $22,000.
Brenham Shrine Club President Michael Thorpe said that they agreed to send $1,000 to assist with the transfer.
He added that through the efforts of Shriners across Texas, they were able to get the child the care that was needed in a timely manner.
The primary purpose of Shrine Clubs is to make local communities aware of the Hospital and its specialty services available to children.
For anyone wishing to contribute to assist with this transport or other needs, please send your check to:
