Making Lemonaide
out of life's lemons.
I was coming home from work one evening when I was hit by a car. Post-surgery and in the first phase of physical therapy, it was clear I needed support. My physical therapist handed me a cane.
I didn't welcome it — but I needed it. And it made a real difference in my mobility and in managing the pain. But disliking its appearance? That's an understatement.
Before the accident I had been an athletic person who got dressed every morning and genuinely loved fashion. It was how I expressed myself. But the cane made me feel disconnected — stigmatized, and less like my true self. It was antiquated and it did a disservice to countless outfits.
When I searched the marketplace for something better, I found more of the same: clinical, old-fashioned, and boring. None of this was okay.
"I thought — I can create a cane that's multi-functional, smartly interchangeable, and fashionable. Something that works like an accessory while providing the support people need. Something that gives you energy, confidence, and style."
The cane I wanted to carry could be the cane many people would prefer to carry. That thought became Lemonaide.
