WHAT IS TRAID?

A little girl and her family came to their local TRAID center. She is on a liver transplant list and has other cognitive and physical delays. The RTC loaned her family this stroller/activity chair so it would be easy for her mother to get her to the various doctors’ appointments and to ensure she was as comfortable as possible. The family reported that they are grateful for the program and the ease of the loans.
