On Saturday, October 31, 2020, the friends and family of Damiyen Smith surprised her with a brand new recliner chair and book of quotes and pictures from friends and family. Saturday was the culmination of a month long celebration of Mrs. Smith, who is currently battling stage 4 breast cancer. As October was Breast Cancer Awareness month, Mrs. Smith’s sister, Brandy Webb, arranged the month-long weekly gifts or “Tokens of Love,” to help lift her sister’s spirits and show her how much she is loved and cared for as she bravely fights against breast cancer. During the presentation of the final gift, many family and friends showed up as she arrived home to find them waiting with the gift of the book and a brand new recliner.
