Families are taking down their decorations and throwing out their trees when Christmas has come to an end. However, one man in Texas is reusing the trees for a good cause. Canes (拐杖) for Veterans (退伍军人) Central Texas, which was set up by Jamie Willis, makes free canes out of waste wood for veterans in need. Willis started the organization when he found himself in need of a strong cane, he told CBS News. 

Jamie Willis had served in the army for eight years, but was left disabled. He would use a cane to get around, but didn't like the one he received from Veterans Affairs. He decided to ask for a suitable replacement (替代品) from the organization Free Canes for Veterans. Oscar Morris, who ran the organization, apologized to Willis because they were all handed out.

He then considered making one for himself. Luckily, with the help of Morris, Willis made his first cane. Morris encouraged him to make another cane for someone else in need, which gave Willis an idea. He started the Canes for Veterans Central Texas. 

During its first year, Willis simply collected thrown-away trees and wood. Now, after getting some attention, Willis has received many donated Christmas trees from neighbors and natives. Since 2016, Willis and his team have made 222 canes for veterans in need. He's even started to make the canes with slogans (标语) and designs chosen by the veterans, making each one meaningful to those veterans.

"It's a great feeling,"he told CBS News. "It takes their eyes off their so-called disability and it takes their eye to the cane. Because when people look at a person with just a metal cane, everyone just wonders what happens,"Willis added. "But now, when they're walking around with canes that we make, they're looking at the cane, a piece of artwork. "
