My sister-in-law works for Social Services and I have sent her to brothers in my lodge that are Shriners that have helped many of the children in her care . cemab4y , could answer this better than I can , but the Shrine's have operating costs . Take my OES chapter , we donate a lot of money to the shrine transportation fund for the transportation of the children to the hospitals .
