Default mini blind wand not long enough

I'm in a wheelchair, so if I want the blinds opened or closed, I
always have to call on my husband to come and do it for me. If I could
reach the wand, I'd twist the darn thing myself, but my arms don't
lift above my elbows.

I've looked at a number of websites that sell blinds and accessories,
plus made a few calls locally with no luck. I guess we could tape a
dowel to the thing so it hangs down long enough for me, but this is a
brand new house, looking really nice, and I'd love to have nice things
in it before I start Rube Goldberging stuff.

Any ideas where I can find this item?

Many thanks.

I suggest replacing the existing wand with one of your own making. A
dowel, nicely painted should work (an eyelet on the top should connect just
fine) or you could get a long plastic rod at the hobby store.
