Walking sticks

Afternoon all, I have spinocerrebellar ataxia type 3. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago, I am now more or less permanently in a wheelchair. During my 10 year journey I e amassed quite a few walking sticks some quite expensive ones. My question is does anyone know where I can donate these?

Thanks in advance

Hopefully others will come up with more suggestions.
