Mom, daughter duo tackle lupus together
“During our struggle with lupus, God has truly blessed us,” said Tucker. “Through much prayer and faith, we’ve made it this far, and even though I have lupus, my main focus and concern has been for my beautiful daughter who has the more serious form of this disease. I’ve watched her fight many battles — always with her beautiful smile and never complaining. Her testimony is my strength.”
LaMonaca opened Treasures on Broadway — a 50 percent consignment, 50 percent new fashion boutique — four years ago.
Through her business, she donates proceeds to the Lupus Foundation from any items that sell after the 60-day consignment period and holds special sales throughout the year, but her biggest fund raiser is the Spring Butterfly.
“When you are in your 20’s and you are constantly sick, and you are being affected by having to go in and out of the hospital while your friends are partying and going to college, not only does it physically tear you down, it will break you down mentally and emotionally,” Sheppard said. “It is not easy to continue to smile and keep pushing. But that is what Skip to my Lupus is for.”
Taking steps to find a cure for lupus
“When I was diagnosed, I was told the life expectancy was less than five years,” said Honi Kurzeja with the Lupus Alliance of Upstate New York. “I went home and cried and cried. It was a terrible situation.”
