Donyea Hoffman Goodwin of Newark was determined to “do something” to help two young, homeless drug addicted mothers who wandered into her workplace. She began looking for a home to open as a shelter. When Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, the shelter became the temporary home for two displaced extended families – a total of more than 50 people – for whom she found permanent homes within 30 days of their arrival in New Jersey. To continue to help disaster victims, she established Each One Help One, a gift registry to match donors with those in need.
