- Firefighters assisted Delilah's recovery by driving her to school on her first day back, while Grissett later visited her classroom with lunch and the character Grimace to provide encouragement.
- Delilah says the scholarship offer has made her more eager to work hard in school, as she does not want to waste the opportunity provided to her.
- Grissett described the contribution as worth "every penny," saying, "It provides joy to satisfy people and that is my purpose. Caring for others is how you change the world.
