Paula Caravella

Paula Needs Your Help

In February of 2016, Paula Caravella was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a progressive lung disease without a known cure and few treatment options. This vibrant 63 year-old mother, grandmother and wife is currently awaiting placement on the list to receive a life-saving double lung transplant at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Born in Bennington, Vermont, Paula leads an active life in North Attleboro, Massachusetts with her husband of 22 years, Peter at her side, and her two grown children and grandchildren nearby. Paula holds degrees in both Computer Information Systems from Bridgewater State and Social work from Boston College, and has worked as an Advanced Life Support EMT and a government contracts specialist.

While the cause of IPF is unknown, Paula has close relatives who have also battled this debilitating disease. With an incredible attitude, relentless determination and your support, Paula is eagerly awaiting the transplant that will allow her a long and healthy life with the people she loves.
