A lifting assistance device to aid in lifting an immobile person includes a panel that is flexible and has opposing ends that comprise sleeves. A first fastener is coupled to a first end of a strap. A second fastener is adjustably coupled to the strap between the first end and a second end of the strap. The second fastener is complimentary to the first fastener. The strap is positioned in and extends through the sleeves, such that the first fastener and the second fastener extend from the sleeves on a respective one of a pair of opposing edges of the panel. The first fastener is couplable to the second fastener to form a loop. The loop has a pair of exposed sections positioned adjacent to the opposing edges of the panel.
