Help Us Support Our Friend as She Fights Cancer

We are a close-knit group who have had the privilege of calling Paula Sullivan our friend, confidante, and source of light for many years. Today, we’re coming together because she needs our help. Many of you know Paula as the owner of Stock + Spice, one of Portsmouth’s most beloved local businesses.

Anyone who has spent time at Paula’s shop knows how much love, creativity, and warmth she pours into it and how much joy and connection she brings to so many of us. Now it’s our turn to show up for her.

As some of you are aware, after a difficult battle with Stage III Ovarian Cancer, Paula is in remission. This is incredible news, but the fight against cancer doesn't end with the final treatment. To prevent recurrence, she faces a long, expensive road of follow-up medication, as well as an overwhelming debt of uncovered medical bills. We are raising funds to help her pay those uncovered expenses, and to help cover the cost of long-term maintenance therapy.

How You Can Help

Every donation, no matter how small, will directly help Paula stay on her path to recovery. In addition to a donation, consider sharing this page with your network. Spreading the word is just as powerful as a donation.

Most importantly, we ask that you keep Paula in your thoughts, prayers, and hearts as she continues her fight. Your generosity and encouragement mean more than words can express.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Jess, Katie, Betsy, Michelle, Samantha, Sherry, Monica, Hannah and Shevawn
