Shriners aid keeps Tristan mobile and traveling costs free
Middleton explains Shriners networks across North America cover travel for patients like Tristan, with local chapters in Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, Chetwynd, Tumbler Ridge and Fort Nelson arranging transport at no cost. The family notes that funding and support from clubs ensure no expense to parents while Tristan’s hip bone regenerates over 4-6 months per side, potentially delaying surgery until later.
