Human beings are jerks sometimes.
Try King County Senior Services, they may have walkers to distribute in cases like these, and if not they may well have an idea of where to get one free or cheap; I know both St. Vinnie's and the Adventist Community Services have stuff like that down here, but it's very much a county (or sometimes city- Seattle may have a separate office of Senior Services) level thing. If she has her Medicare through Group Health, her walker may be insured (the one my husband got last fall is) so that's another place to ask; it's probably covered by her homeowners or renters insurance, if she's got that. Also, of you have a community news blogger talking to them and getting the story out may get the walker to come home: shame works, sometimes.
