Welcome to Doopa’s House of Care

Dear Guest,

This home was born from the deepest parts of my heart. As a mother, a veteran, a caregiver, and someone who has spent countless hours in hospital corridors and waiting rooms, I know the ache of uncertainty, the weariness of long nights, and the quiet strength it takes to hold on to hope.

When my daughter underwent a kidney transplant, our journey illuminated a need—a need for a place where healing extends beyond the hospital walls. A place where compassion lives, where rest is honored, and where no one has to walk their path alone. That vision became Doopa’s House of Care.

This is more than a place to stay. It is a sanctuary—a home built with intention, warmth, and unwavering love. Whether you are here to heal, to care for someone you love, or simply to catch your breath, please know: you are not alone. You are seen. You are valued. And you are surrounded by a community that understands.

It is our greatest honor to support you during this part of your journey.

With heartfelt care,
Tamara N. Shields
Founder & CEO, Doopa’s House of Care
