Who We Are
The You Cane Give Initiative (YCG) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that provides canes, mobility training, and assistance to individuals all over the world.
Men, women, and children in over 30 countries have been impacted by YCG. Thank you for supporting our mission!
We Need Your Help
In countries like Mexico, China, India, and South Africa, people do not have access to the proper tools to empower independence and success. YCG collects donated canes to refurbish and deliver to individuals with vision impairments and vision loss all over the world. One donation can change the course of someone’s life.
Your Kindness Travels Far
Your donations impact the lives of people from all over the globe. YCG has donated canes to over 30 countries, and we hope to see that number grow!
