Values get overwritten by latest person to request the bot? - node.js

Question

I have made a raffle ballot discord bot that allows a user to DM the bot their name and raffle entry amount. Once they have set the values they can start the entry of the raffle by DMing !enter. Once this has happend a function is called which then starts a for-loop the for loop will run based on the specified entry amount. I have also added in a delay within the for-loop due to the service to get the raffle tickets takes some time (Code is edited for SO Post due to sensitive API info)
Once this is complete it then sends a DM back to the user that had DMed the bot originally. The problem I am facing is that if multiple users DM at the same time or while it is running from the first DM the variables get overwritten by the latest person requesting the bot.
I assumed that by using a Discord.js bot each time a user DMs it creates a new instance of the script or node process?
Is it possible for the function that the bot calls once DMed to create a new process within the main node process so it doesn't get overwritten?

You can store your user data in a list with classes.
var userData = [
{name: "sample#0000", entryNum: 0}
];
