This summer, our dear friend Paula received the life-altering diagnosis of stage 2/3 breast cancer. Paula is a devoted mother of three boys, a full-time professional, and the heart of her family. Despite the challenges ahead, she continues to show incredible strength and grace.

She is currently undergoing chemotherapy at Massachusetts General Hospital in Waltham, with surgery planned for early 2026, weeks of radiation, and endocrine therapy for years after that. It’s a long and difficult road, and while Paula and her husband Matt both work full time, the emotional and financial toll is immense.

Between medical bills, childcare, transportation to treatments, an intermittent leave for Paula, and the everyday needs of a busy household, the costs are adding up quickly. We’re asking for your support to help ease the burden on this amazing family so they can focus on what matters most — Paula’s healing and being together.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you’re unable to give, please email Stephanie (contact below) for more information about helping with meals and childcare.

Let’s rally around Paula and her family with love, hope, and support.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
