Doherty’s simplified journey amid health battle
The star of Charmed and Beverly Hills, 90210, battling stage-four breast cancer, revealed that she was parting with some of her cherished possessions. This decision is aimed at funding special vacations with her mother and loved ones.
Reducing her belongings would also help to “tidy things up” in case she outlived her mother, Rose Elizabeth Doherty.

Deciding to part with the excess furniture and her Tennessee house, she admitted feeling like she was “throwing in the towel” on her battle with cancer and giving up her dream of establishing an animal sanctuary.
Doherty’s downsizing journey and personal reflections
Doherty explained that after the initial sadness of parting with her belongings, she found solace in her plans to collaborate with other rescues, continuing her passion for animal rescue. She mentioned that the proceeds from selling her unwanted furniture would contribute to her “bucket fund.”
The downsizing efforts of the 90210 star won’t just benefit her mother. She also pledged to share the proceeds with friends and family who would care for her mother if she passed away.
Doherty emphasized the personal benefits of downsizing, intending to use the proceeds from selling long-stored furniture for domestic and international travel expenses. She expressed a desire to simplify her life by reducing her possessions to enhance her overall quality of life.
