“Thank you for the new chill chair!”- Dorothy Harper

January 25, 2023

Dorothy is a kind, social woman, who gains energy from those around her. For many years, she enjoyed using a large recliner in the living area of her home, but some recent health changes have made that difficult and unsafe for her.

During a visit to the St.Amant Spirit Cottage, she tried a Chill Out Chair and reported feeling much more comfortable.

Thanks to your support, she recently received her own Roll’er Chill Out Chair! This chair can be wheeled from room to room so she can easily move around her home while staying cozy and comfortable. This reduces the number of transfers she has to go through while allowing her to participate in all the household activities. This is safer for Dorothy and her support team.

Dorothy is very thankful for her new chair, made possible by YOUR support. She sent us a card that says: “Thank you for the new chill chair! I love the colour and table top so I can relax while playing games. It is so comfortable! I am very grateful! Sincerely, Dorothy Harper.”

The matching ottoman allows her to elevate her legs when she wants, and the attachable tray means she can play cards and games with her roommates and support staff while still lounging in her seat. It is even a fun festive colour that she got to choose! 

Thank you for making in a difference in Dorothy’s life.
