Summary
A son caring for his mother in a nursing home removed his credit card from her DoorDash account after her worsening cancer left her ordering food she neither received nor ate.
For weeks, she had been waking up, tapping through the app with poor hand control, accidentally placing orders, then falling back asleep before collecting deliveries.
He told her he would still provide food by bringing it himself or placing delivery orders on request and alerting staff so the meals at least reached her.
Family tensions flared after she texted relatives that he had cut her off and left her hungry, prompting criticism from relatives despite his saying the old system had become unaffordable and unworkable.
