One day in late February 2019, our brother Louie was having severe stomach pain that got progressively worse throughout the day. After convincing him to go to the ER and after several tests, the bad news came on February 28th. He had Liver Cancer. 

This began a four and a half month journey. Six weeks later, the treatment began and this journey made simple tasks like standing up and sleeping in a bed almost impossible. We thought a reclining chair with a lift could bring him comfort, support and dignity. Unfortunately, his insurance would not cover this form of support and the co- pay only covered the lift mechanism and not the actual chair or delivery. 

Our family decided to purchase a chair for him so he could rest easy on his own. He sure did get much needed rest on that lift assist chair! 

Our beloved brothers journey came to an end on Wednesday July 17, 2019 Exactly four and a half months after it had begun. Our sister, Joni, decided that day that any Cancer Patient in need of a lift assist chair can request one from “Lifts from Louie”. Our goal became this newly established non-profit!
