This is FREE!  This is a gift during your journey!  You just have to pick-up and return the chairs.

Jonee Crump, Foundation Manager at Memorial Health System and Ranae Veal, Hope Lives and a Breast Cancer Survivor, work together to bring this amazing gift to women who will live through a similar experience as Ranae:

“Hi everyone! I am Ranae Veal.  In March of 2022, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. During my journey, I have learned many valuable things. One thing that was most helpful and valuable to me, was a post surgical lift chair. These Lift Chairs are for women that have had the mastectomy surgical procedure. The idea is designed to give us a little comfort of being able to get up and down independently and lay comfortably to sleep. Post surgery, I had purchased my own chair and after utilizing it and realizing the benefits, I wanted to give women in Dickinson County this gift. With the backing of Hope Lives and our generous supporters, we have been able to purchase 3 new chairs that are available (free of charge) to post-op patients to utilize during their time of healing. You can check out a chair for 3 to 4 weeks before you go in for surgery so it is there and ready for you when you get home! I hope this serves its purpose and provides comfort to others, as it did for me, during a difficult battle!”

If you or someone you know would benefit from the use of a Hope Lives Chair, just send a direct message via our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095175383789 and Ranae will get back with you regarding the check out process.

If you have any questions or would like additional information regarding the Hope Lives Chairs, please contact:

Please coordinate pick up and return dates with Jonee Crump, Memorial Health System Foundation Manager jcrump@mhsks.org or at 785-263-6609.
