Support for our beautiful Paula & her son Grayson
Donation protected
Here’s an update on our favourite girl Paula,
The journey Paula is on is grueling, both physically and financially.
She is currently in the middle of her second round of chemotherapy (like the warrior that she is!)
This treatment round of chemotherapy, is much more aggressive. That being said, it has left her with no choice but to leave work (for the second time) to focus mainly on her health and well being.
After 8 months of a multitude of doctor’s & hospital appointments, (including many unexpected visits) & as a single mom, she faces the overwhelming task of supporting her young son, Grayson, while battling this illness. Unfortunately, the cost of her treatments, medications, travel to and from appointments, and daily living expenses have become an enormous burden. She’s had to step back from her work at the salon, for the second time ~ which means she’s lost a significant source of income, right when she needs it most.
Once chemotherapy is seen as successful, she will be given the opportunity to undergo a life threatening and yet still, life saving surgery, which will also keep her off work for an unforeseen amount of time, to focus on recovery and healing & getting back to normalcy.
Help Paula Kemp Fight Stage 3 Cervical Cancer
Dear Friends, Family, and Community,
Our favourite friend, sister, mother, and hairstylist Paula Kemp, is currently facing the fight of her life. Eight months ago, Paula was diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer and has been undergoing an intense journey of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. As a co-owner of The Vibe Beauty, and a devoted single mother to her son, Grayson, Paula has always been the light in our lives, bringing warmth, laughter, and an unmatched energy to everyone she meets.
Paula’s Story:
For those who know Paula, you know she is a remarkable person. Her bright smile and genuine heart have touched countless lives, both in her community and at her salon. As a talented stylist, Paula has the gift of making everyone feel beautiful, but more than that, she makes everyone feel seen and loved.
That being said as part of her cancer journey, Paula has already lost the majority of her hair.
Which if you know, Paula her love and her passion for hair, this is incredibly devastating.
She’s the friend who never hesitates to help others, the mother who does everything for her son, and the woman who fills any room with positivity. Now, in this difficult time, it’s our chance to give back and help her the way she has helped us all so much.

PS friends : Paula has not once asked for any financial help. She is extremely so grateful (beyond words) for the help she has received - but as her friends & family, we have no problem asking for the help until she wins this fight like we all know she will
She deserves our help! She’d do it for you in a heartbeat
With all our gratitude, love & appreciation,

I'm starting this go fund me to support Paula Kemp in her journey with cancer. Paula is only 30 years old and has recently been diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer, as well as stage 2 in her lymph nodes and pelvic area. Anyone that knows Paula knows that she is the most selfless, uplifting, loving & positive person that you could ever meet. She brightens up every room that she is in and goes above and beyond in all aspects. She is also a single mother to the sweetest little boy Grayson who is 8 years old. Paula and Grayson live on their own, and Paula is the sole provider for their family. With Paula having to be off work for treatment, and unable to go on EI since she is self-employed, she has zero income to provide for her and her son, and it is undetermined when she will be able to return to work. Paula has always extended help to anyone who is in need of it, and now it’s our time to return the help to our girl. Every little bit helps - and we are eternally grateful for the support at this time. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts, we are extremely appreciative.
