I do not know of any support groups in B.C. I live in Northwest Montana and we do not have one here either. I would love to eventually start one for the state of Montana. This website is a great line of support. There are many people who can answer a lot of questions for you. Keep posting and checking your questions. I truly hope everything works out for you and your child. Remember to never give up hope.

Hi Allie's Mom, I am in BC Canada also!! So sorry to hear you have a daughter with an injury. My daughter is 10 and has a RBPI, her name is Ashley. We have no support group in BC that I am aware of ( including yourself there are only 4 of us in BC that I know of. ) One of these lady's actually lives in Maple Ridge though!! If it is Ok with you I will pass on your name to her? Just email me privately and I will forward the email to her if you would like. I have met her and her Daughter and they are amazing. I would love to meet you and your daughter in future as well. We travel to Vancouver Children's Hospital for my daughter's appointments so we're down at least twice a year. Any ways email me at landgp@shaw.ca and I will gladly answer any questions and forward your name and address to Kim.

All the best to you and yours,
Lenni
