WA WA Shrine Patient Transportation Fund & Donations
While Shriners Hospitals for Children provide free care for patients, we all know that getting to the hospital is also expensive. WA WA’s Patient Transportation Fund (PTF) is used to cover the costs of getting Saskatchewan kids to the help they need. Through the PTF, WA WA pays the flight costs for the patient and also for one parent or guardian to accompany the child. WA WA also covers the costs of hotels while the patients are visiting the hospital, and transportation between the hotel and the hospital.
Due to privacy concerns, all Shriners do not have information about all Shriners Hospital patients. Patients are welcome to maintain their privacy. However, many WA WA patients and their families are so grateful for the experiences they have had in Montreal (and at other Hospitals) that they are willing to share their experiences through presentations and attendance at Shrine meetings and banquets.
Children receiving care do not have to be related to a Shriner, or have any other connection to the WA WA Shriners. While some parents choose to become Shriners after their children receive care, that is certainly not required or expected.
To support the Patient Transportation Fund, please contact WA WA Shriners office at 306-569-2294. We accept VISA, Mastercard or cheque payable to Patient Transportation Fund. If your donations is made 'In Memory' of a loved one, an acknowledgement of your donation will be mailed to the family.
Patient Transportation Fund is a registered charity offering a tax receipt for donations of $25 or more. Donations of $500 or more will be acknowledged on a plaque in the WA WA Shriners hallway.
