Below is a list of items that was given to us by Shriners that they could use for their patients. You may look at this and think why do they need some of these things. Here is the reason Shriners Hospital does not want their patients to feel like they are in a hospital environment, they want to make them feel as if they are at home. Plus most of Shriners patients are from other countries and states so they set their families up in apartments and ask for these donations to help out.
