    Thank you for posting this. I had no idea this was going on. What are companies thinking when they implement policies that hamper volunteers? You’d think they’d want to engage, and keep happy, these people that give their time.

        Let’s not be hyperbolic. I’ll agree MOST companies behave this way. There are plenty of companies that also value their staff, pay them well and take good care of their customers.

        I bought a handcrafted cane from a craftsman in Ukraine and when a small crack formed in the handle after a few months of use. I wrote him to ask how to repair the crack and he straight up remade the entire handle and sent it to me for free. He also sent me a free leather strap for the cane.

        The company is called Asterom and they are absolutely worth your money if you need/want a cane. You also support an awesome Ukrainian company.
