My name is Stefanie. I'm helping Diana's son, Justin, with this GoFundMe. He just lost his mom. Here is what he wrote:

Diana Vassey was a kind and compassionate woman who deserved better cards than she was dealt. Even on a fixed income, she always went out of her way to help those in need, caring for those around her as if they were family. She lived a life of constant struggle and pain but never let it break her spirit. She still fed the hungry and sheltered the poor, even when she was sick herself. She was a wonderful person, and we will miss her dearly.

Her family is writing this now as we struggle making arrangements. We are down to a single fixed-income household with rapidly approaching rent and bills, and we now have final expenses on top. We are seeking help for expenses in this time of need while we navigate the loss of a key figure in our family.
