Kait's Angels Yard Sale Brings Out Crowd For 2 Battling Cancer

MATTITUCK, NY — Soggy skies Saturday morning did nothing to rain down on the spirits of the crowd that turned out for the annual Kait's Angels yard sale to benefit community members in need of a helping hand.

Tables were packed with yard sale treasures and hearts were full of love at the Doorhy home as scores turned out to donate and help Matthew Rolle of Aquebogue, a young dad, and Dylan Newman, 14, of Southold, both battling cancer.

Every year, the community opens its hearts and brings tables full of donations, including beautiful glassware, clothing, home decor, books, toys and more, all for a yard sale that touches lives.

August marked four years since Mattituck's Kaitlyn Doorhy, 20, died while away at college. Kait's Angels, a not-for-profit organization created to honor Kaitlyn's memory, hosts fundraisers to help those in need and also encourages individuals to perform acts of kindness in memory of a young woman who lived her life with a caring heart focused on philanthropy.

Kait's bright smile and kind heart were remembered with love Saturday, as friends and loved ones who have vowed to keep her presence and giving spirit alive came together for another tremendous act of kindness, in her beautiful name.
