This August will mark three years since Mattituck's Kaitlyn Doorhy, 20, died while away at college.

But the legions who love her have kept her memory alive with Kait's Angels, a not-for-profit organization created to honor Kaitlyn's beautiful memory through acts of kindness.

From the unthinkable, from the worst loss imaginable, seeds of love, family, friendship, and generosity have flourished, as the community continues to stand strong at fundraisers for Kait's Angels, keeping her memory alive by carrying on her legacy of love and caring for others.

Events include a yearly Wingo Night, a Poker Run, and yard sales and other events to help members of the community in need.

Members of Kait's Angels perform “Angel Acts,” working to pay Kait’s love of others forward and brightening the lives of strangers with random acts of kindness.

A mantra of the organization is “Discover Your Value,” urging individuals to follow Kait’s shining example and live a life dedicated to good works.

Since the organization was formed, Kait’s Angels has been spreading a message of love and positivity throughout the North Fork and beyond. Buddy Benches have been dedicated to East End schools to help fight back against bullying and help give children a safe place to go when they need a friend.
