1. What Google AI says

Your profile says you are in the DC area so I asked where free walkers could be attained in your area. (You can get a better answer if you do the search yourself as a question using your actual location.)
The answer was:

In the Washington D.C. area, you can find free walkers for elderly individuals through programs like Iona's Loan Closet and DC Shares, which provide donated, lightly-used transport devices and other supplies.

Here's a breakdown of resources:

Iona's Loan Closet:
This program, run by Iona Senior Services, provides donated, lightly-used transport devices, including rollator walkers (with and without seats), for free.
Contact: Call [phone] and ask to speak with the front desk, or send an email.

DC Shares (Durable Medical Equipment Recycling Program):
This program provides free durable medical equipment to DC residents with income levels below $30,000 per year.
Contact: You can find more information on the ULS-DC website.

Maryland Department of Aging
The Maryland Department of Aging provides FREE durable medical equipment to Marylanders with any illness, injury, or disability, regardless of age, at no cost.
Contact Information: [e-mail] or call 240-230-8000 to learn more.

Other Options:
Contact local senior centers or non-profit agencies: These organizations may have resources or information about available programs.
Check with local advocacy groups: Organizations like the ALS Association and Alzheimer's Association may have programs for caregivers to borrow equipment.
Explore Assistive Technology Act programs: These programs can provide equipment that promotes mobility and independence.

2. Also, try NEXTDOOR

You might have a neighbor with one they no longer use. I know if I still lived in MD I would just bring one down 95 to you. Alas, I live in WA now.
