Lupita is a 14 year old young lady who was born with Downs Syndrome. In September of 2011 Lupita was diagnosed with leukemia and finished her treatment in December of 2013. Unfortunately Lupita’s leukemia has returned and she is now starting her chemotherapy treatment all over again and will have many extended admissions to the hospital. This has been devastating for her family. Lupita’s mom hasn’t been able to work due to being with her in the hospital and had an upcoming electricity bill and 3 other children at home.  The Extra Step was able to accommodate Lupita’s family with their upcoming electric bill and food for the family.
