Cane Hacks

Sounds bizarre and pitiful, but has anyone ever used an umbrella for a cane, until you get a script for one? What other "cane hacks" can u suggest until I can get one? Been to Salvation Army but u have to be referred by a professional to get a free one, and Goodwill here is too expensive for my limited income budget! Thanks in advance! 😁

Now that you are in Missouri, you should be able to find a nice “poking stick” you can use for support. If you message me your info, I will have one sent to you from Amazon.
