Support Diane Dalton's Final Expenses

Hi, my name is Amber, and I’m the granddaughter of Diane Dalton. In early September, my grandmother was unexpectedly diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. It came as a complete shock; we only learned about it after she was hospitalized with pneumonia. Things moved quickly, and I was the one helping her through it all. My grandmother and I shared a unique bond—she always trusted me, took my advice, and allowed me to care for her in ways she wouldn’t let others.

In her last two weeks, her health declined rapidly. After her insurance stopped covering her rehab, she came home, and I struggled to arrange in-home care. By Tuesday, her condition worsened; she was in significant pain, unable to walk, and had stopped eating. That’s when we found the compassionate team at VITAS Hospice. They were a godsend, especially Nurse Amy, who cared for her with so much kindness and ensured she was comfortable until the very end.

On Friday, October 25, at 7:30 pm, my grandmother peacefully chose to return to God and find her rest. She had lived on a limited income, and now, as I face the reality of her passing, I’m handling her final expenses out of my own pocket. I’m reaching out for support to help cover her last costs, including moving her belongings from her apartment. Any assistance would help lighten this load as I work through my grief and honor her memory. Thank you for considering, and for any help you can give during this difficult time.
