Hello!

I am an Army Veteran helping other Veterans and respectfully invite you to join the cause.

I make and donate custom canes for Veterans so they don’t have to use the cheap aluminum and plastic ones from drugstores or the VA. I never accept payment from any Veteran as I consider their service to our country as payment in full. Each cane is made by hand from responsibly sourced hardwoods and designed to honor the Veteran’s service to our country. I source and pay for all of the materials myself as well as the shipping costs, so resources can be limited at times, but no Veteran in need will be allowed to go without a cane befitting their contribution to our American way of life.

I don't have a website yet, but get new requests from Facebook group members, word of mouth, and Veterans' groups across the country.

I currently do all of the work by hand in my garage with minimal, undersized, and very worn-out equipment.

To reach more Veterans and deliver high-quality canes, I desperately need better equipment, a professionally built website, money for materials, and either a shipping account or funds to ship canes to these Veterans. I am very frugal and 100% respectful of the sacrifice I am asking for in this donation request. Every penny received will go directly into the four needs I mentioned and nothing else.

My gratitude for reading through this request and for any consideration in donating.

Shanon Ryan
