Born from a heart that gives
Mourning Dove began with Amanda Houlton, a wife, mother, and woman of deep faith from Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Years ago she did something rare: she became a living kidney donor for a United States veteran, and she has remained a passionate advocate with DOVE, Donor Outreach for Veterans, ever since.
That same calling, to give back to people in their most vulnerable moments, is the reason Mourning Dove exists. The dove has long been a symbol of peace and comfort, the quiet presence that stays close through loss. That is the presence Amanda wanted to bring into homes across the U.P.
"We help so family can be family. When the days are hard, you should get to be a daughter, a son, a spouse, not just a caregiver."
Alongside Amanda, Taylor Houlton serves as Administrator, keeping every family's care thoughtful, organized, and personal. Together they are building something the U.P. has always deserved: care delivered the way you would want it for your own.
With care, Amanda & Taylor Houlton
