On August 14th, Doris and her family experienced a devastating house fire in Newark, New Jersey, leaving them homeless and without any belongings. Doris, her husband (who is disabled), her daughter, and her elderly father-in-law are now staying in a hotel, paying out of pocket for every night. With no fire insurance and no help from the Red Cross—despite repeated calls—Doris is facing this crisis alone. She has nowhere to go after tomorrow and is desperately searching for a safe place for her family to stay.

Doris has been a massage therapist at Massage Envy Short Hills for eight years, a career she chose because of her lifelong desire to help others. Even as a child, she was always massaging her loved ones, wanting to bring comfort and relief. Her selflessness and compassion have touched countless lives, both professionally and personally. Doris is known for her unwavering dedication—she never calls out, works overtime, and always puts others first. Her bright, colorful makeup and cheerful personality light up every room, and she’s the first to offer help when someone is in need.

Now, Doris and her family are facing unimaginable loss and uncertainty. Every dollar raised will go directly toward extending her hotel stay, covering basic needs, and helping her family find stable housing. Immediate support will give Doris and her loved ones more time and hope as they rebuild after this tragedy. Doris has always been the first to help others. Now, her community is coming together to support her in her time of need. Any donation—no matter the size—will make a real difference for Doris and her family as they work to recover and find a new home.
