Sassy Crutches?

Since I'm currently hobbling around on a sprained ankle, I was researching ideas for customizing my brand-spanking-new crutches and ran across Lemon Aid. The woman who crafts them spent a couple of years on crutches due to a plane crash that took the lives of her husband and son, and she decided to make a living out of helping others feel a little more chipper about having to use these clunky, awkward contraptions. And 50% of the proceeds go to Step with Hope (stepwithhope.org), a nonprofit foundation she established herself.

Though they're too pricey for me ($100 - $175), I loved these designs (l to r: Hollywood, Vegas, Sudan, Taipei):
