"the chair is A Must for Recovery"
MADDY'S CHAIRS TO RECOVERY EXPERIENCE:
“The chair committee was so helpful, I would have been lost without them. When my first chair malfunctioned (which has since been fixed) they were quick to get me a new one and stayed in communication with me to make sure everything was working.
Having somewhere to comfortably sit and sleep was a huge benefit. You don’t realize how hard it is to get comfortable until you have drains coming out of you.
It is a must for recovery.
My favorite feature is being able to adjust the chair to the perfect level of comfort.

How Chairs to recovery Started
What started in 2018 with just one chair has grown to over 30 lift chairs today!
Here’s how it all began (in the words of Suzy):
“Leslie is my friend that lives in Lincoln. Her friends raised money so she could buy a chair and promised she would pass it on to others when she recovered. It just happened that I had my surgery right after her recovery, so she loaned me the chair and told me to do the same - pass it on afterward.
I saw in the cancer group that Jen had an upcoming surgery so I offered it to her. She didn't know anyone that needed it after her so she brought the chair back to my house.
After seeing other Pink members talking about upcoming surgeries I thought it would be a good idea to keep it in the group.”
And thanks to donations by others and monetary donations, we have been able to add additional chairs to bring our total to 28!
