A collapsible, portable personal lift assists a user in translating from a fully upright position to a position sitting on a floor. The personal lift is easily collapsed into a compact storage configuration and includes wheels and a handle for easy transport of the lift to any location. The personal lift utilizes an air pump to fill two separate airbags. An elevating airbag raises the chair of the personal lift from the floor to a raised position. A second tilting airbag is used to tilt the chair forward to assist the user in standing up. The airbags may be deflated to assist the user and going from an upright standing position to a seated position on the floor. The personal lift utilizes scissor joints positions around the elevating airbag to stabilize the device as the airbags are inflated and deflated.
