Good Afternoon,
I received a call today from a family that has twin 6 month old boys.
The brothers were premature (30 weeks) and have had some complications.
One brother has plagiocephaly and the father stated that their
physician said that he needs a helmet. The family is overwhelmed with
medical bills and this is one more issue they were not expecting, nor
can they afford via insurance.
They are from the Rock Hill,Sc area and looking for assistance.
We do not fabricate these helmets at Shriners in Greenville, SC,
however I told the dad I would send a request to this list serve.
If you are willing, or aware of someone that could assist this family,
please let me know at your earliest convenience.
Thank you,
Ed
