Hi everyone! I am Ranae Veal, Chairman of Hope Lives and a Breast Cancer Survivor. 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! You just have to pick-up and return the chairs. If you or someone you know would benefit from the use of a Hope Lives Chair, just send a direct message via our page, and Jonee Crump at Memorial Health System and Hope Lives Committee Member, will get back with you regarding the check out process. This is at NO cost to you. This is a gift during your journey! If you have any questions or would like additional information regarding the Hope Lives Chairs, please feel free to reach out to me directly at 785-263-3995, or send a message to this page. I hope this serves its purpose and provides comfort to others, as it did for me, during a difficult battle!
