Marlo’s Story

My name is Marlo De La Mora and I am a Southern California resident.  I am blessed with two beautiful children that are all grown up and are exploring the world.  Three dogs take care of ME at home now.  

On August 31, 2000, I was diagnosed with Lupus, an autoimmune disease, for which there is no known cure.  Every drug the doctors gave me to combat lupus, I'd get the serious but rare side effect and end up hospitalized for weeks at a time.  I almost died on several occasions.  I decided I was going to fight this chronic and sometimes deadly disease. I started to research alternatives to medicine and took myself off 22 different drugs that I was on, by incorporating crystals, CBD, and essential oils into my daily life.  

I dedicate my time and efforts to raise money for Lupus research and to financial support others like me.  I became a spokesperson for Lupus.  I formed the Simi Valley Lupus and Autoimmune Disease Support Group.  On March 8, 2018, I was honored to be recognized by the Lupus Research Alliance for my dedication.  Between 2014 and 2018, I have received several proclamations from cities for advocating May as Lupus Awareness Month.     

In February 2019, I become a small business entrepreneur by starting Chronically Wired.  As anyone with Lupus can attest, there are the constant ups and downs of good and bad days, which makes it difficult to maintain a stable career.  Chronically Wired has lifted my spirits, gave me a sense of purpose, and will hopefully inspire others suffering from Lupus or any other autoimmune disease to never give up.      

When you order a handmade custom product from Chronically Wired, you can feel proud that you are supporting someone that is trying to make a difference in this world, hopefully yours.  I hope you enjoy my products that have helped me in my healing journey and share your experience with others.

Thank You,

Marlo
