Importance of Having a Spare Cane
The Importance of Having a Spare Cane It is VITAL! I cannot stress this enough! I was packing for a trip to my parents house in Chicago. I was only expecting to be gone ten days. I have used my NFB Folding Cane and only really use it when traveling or going to crowded places and restaurants. I figured it hasn't gotten much use so it should last ten days right?...Wrong. I got to Chicago and unfolded my can and low and behold, the point of connection between the fourth and fifth pieces had frayed and the connection is weak. Great.... I don't have a usable cane and I am no where near a center that sells NFB canes. They don't sell long white canes on amazon and the Independence Market was closed. I thought about the Free White Cane program but I had already requested my cane in the last 6 months so I was not eligible, I called D Canes, the maker of the Nebraska Cane, aka Bob Riley, and he didn't answer at first.
