[Nfbk] Where to Get a Cane

[Corbb O'Connor]

Hi Chris

I’ve never shopped the NFB Independence Market online, but I’m confident that we have folding canes that are taller than 41 inches, mainly because I have one right next to me! Call Ellen Ringletn at 410-659-9314, and she can help you.

Personally, Briley and I love the textured, fiberglass canes often referred to as “Iowa canes.” They’re sold, just flexible enough to not break but be sturdy when you need them, and they look better. I called the Iowa Commission for the Blind and they transferred me to their materials store. Their prices are almost always the same as, if not competitive with, the Independence Market. My cane was $25; I know that for certain.
