“Absolutely Zero Money Involved”

Oh, there’s money involved. There is absolutely zero money involved,” Amy clarified, dispelling the rumors.
She defended her choice to collaborate with People magazine, citing the complexity of Dillon’s situation and expressing her belief that the wide readership of the publication would translate into a larger prayer network for Dillon. “It’s just a long story, and I just said ‘see the link in bio’ so you know what it is,” she explained, adding, “People are just so programmed or groomed to think that everything has to do with money and that there’s always someone looking for a handout. There is not anything like that involved.”
Seeking Prayers and Support, Not Financial Gain
Amy emphasized that “It’s just a story that People magazine put out. And I am grateful for that, because there’s a lot of people who read that, that will pray for him, that will lift him up, that will encourage his heart, that will help us as a family, as far as just with encouraging words, that is all I’m asking from you guys,” she continued, highlighting her genuine need for emotional and spiritual support rather than financial benefits.
Expressing faith in her fanbase, Amy noted that “Most of my followers, I think support me and they are genuine people, and that’s who I choose to be in every situation.” She reassured her audience, “There’s just a lot going on, so I’m just asking for prayers and nothing else,” reiterating her need for support during this difficult period for her family.
Details of Dillon King’s Condition
In her conversation with People, Amy shared further details about the severity of Dillon’s condition, stating that doctors discovered a significant “4-inch tear” in Dillon’s diaphragm. She also revealed the extent of organ displacement, noting that his right kidney, appendix, colon, and small intestines have been “displaced” due to the rupture.
“Not a Quick Fix” – Lengthy Recovery Ahead
Amy conveyed the seriousness of Dillon’s medical journey, explaining to People that “Doctors have made it clear that this is not a quick fix.” She emphasized the challenges ahead, adding, “The risks are high, the procedures complex and the recovery uncertain. We are taking this one moment at a time, clinging to hope, prayer, and the wisdom of the medical teams who are now walking this road with us.”
As a consequence of his condition, Dillon King remains under hospital care as he begins his treatment and recovery process.
Frustration and a Call for Calm
