Caterham – Paulas Shop is hosting a heartfelt raffle event to support 29-year-old Jessie Sharp, who is courageously battling a debilitating condition called gastroparesis — a chronic illness that has left her stomach paralysed and reliant on feeding tubes and a gastric pacemaker to survive.

Jessie has recently been accepted into a groundbreaking neurological recovery program at The Spero Clinic in Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA, with a confirmed start date of August 11, 2025. The 14-week outpatient treatment is her best hope for regaining a sense of normalcy — but it comes at a steep cost, ranging from $42,000 to $54,000 USD, not including accommodation and living expenses. Unfortunately, this treatment is not covered by the NHS.

To help ease the financial burden, Paula, the owner of Paulas Shop, is organizing a charity raffle featuring a stunning £300 self-care basket, packed with over 30 luxury items including:

• Sanctuary Spa Box Set

• Super Facial Oil

• Milky Micellar Water

• Collagen Eye Masks

• Tea Tree Cleansing Pads

• Flamingo Nail Board

• £100 Gold Note (Collectible)

• Perfume Box

• Epsom Salts

• Adult Colouring Book

• Aloe Vera Cream

• And much more!

One lucky winner will take home the entire basket!

🎟️ Raffle tickets are only £1 and can be purchased via our website. All proceeds will go directly toward Jessie’s treatment and recovery journey.

For those who would like to make an additional contribution, a GoFundMe campaign is also live. Jessie’s own words share the gravity of her situation:

“At 27, I lost the ability to eat. Since then, I’ve lived with constant sickness, extreme pain, and daily blackouts due to malnutrition. On top of this, I suffer from severe endometriosis and bowel dysfunction, and I’ve had life-threatening reactions to medications. I’m now fighting a persistent C. difficile infection. Despite it all, I’m determined to keep going. Any support — no matter how small — brings me closer to a life where I’m not just surviving, but living again.”
