Help Tucker Sleep Safely and Comfortably

Tucker Lovelace is a bright, loving, and determined 9-year-old from Viroqua, Wisconsin. Every day, he greets the world with joy, even while facing incredible challenges. Tucker lives with his parents, Adam and Anne, his sister Adalene (11), and his little brother Elliott (6).

Tucker’s life has never been easy. Diagnosed at just six months with 15q duplication syndrome, a rare genetic condition, he faces significant developmental delays and medical challenges. He also lives with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy that brings multiple seizures every day. To keep him safe, Tucker relies on several anti-seizure medications, a Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS), and a G-tube for medications and fluids.

On top of that, Tucker has low muscle tone, making everyday tasks — sitting up, moving, even breathing sometimes — a real challenge. But Tucker never gives up. With the support of his amazing team of therapists at school and at home, he works tirelessly to grow stronger and learn new skills.

Tucker is non-verbal, but he communicates in powerful ways — through his eye-gaze board, his smiles, and the twinkle in his eyes. He loves being in water, watching Bluey, playing with light-up toys, listening to music, snuggling, and holding hands with those he loves.

Right now, Tucker’s family is hoping to give him something he desperately needs but can’t get through insurance: a specialized bed from Beds by George. Costing $15,000+, this bed would be built specifically for Tucker, providing padded sides, safety rails, and proper elevation for better sleep — all tailored to protect him during seizures and prevent falls.

This bed isn’t just furniture — it’s safety, comfort, and peace of mind for Tucker and his family. It’s a chance for him to sleep soundly, grow, and live each day with a little more freedom and security.

Your support can make that possible. Together, we can give Tucker the safe, comfortable bed he deserves.
