Help Lindsey Heal: From Toxic Mold to Radiant Health!

Donation protected
Dear Community and Soul Tribe,

I'm stepping forward to initiate support for Lindsey Morriss, as she is a deep Soul Sister and Co-Heart of mine and a brilliant Evolutionary Soul on mission during these times. Lindsey has worked for my company "Wishing Well Productions" for the last 10 years and has been highly instrumental in assisting me in producing major online Evolutionary events, such as Saturday Night Alive for the Global Peace Tribe, as well as continually getting valuable information out to the awakening world, which profoundly supports so many during these critical, yet transformative times.

But Lindsey's been deeply struggling in the last 2 years. You may not be aware of it because she's still the bright, beautiful, and productive woman you know as a friend and co-heart to many in the community. But she's also very sensitive and very susceptible and has suffered a lot of ongoing pain, discomfort, extreme fatigue, and disappointment due to mold poisoning. It has recently been severely affecting her life, her work, and her mission.

Since this has been an ongoing issue, I've suggested that she take a little break and get the treatment she needs to heal and get back on track so she can get back to the highly productive and happy life that she had previously. So, I shared with her I would launch this GoFundMe for her.

If you are a friend of Lindsey or even just know of her, Please Support Her at this time. It's the "Power of Community" where the collective can all contribute either a lot or a little, making a HUGE DIFFERENCE for the person in the community who needs help. And Lindsey could deeply use this support at this time.

Thank you so much!

Debra Giusti

MESSAGE FROM LINDSEY

Aloha, dear ones!

After navigating a somewhat silent struggle with toxic mold and chronic illness, I’m finally asking for support to return to health and rebuild. This is more than a fundraiser — it’s a call to help me rise from the ashes and reclaim my life.

I have a deep, deep desire to make a massively positive impact on this world and to help create a planet and society filled with love, beauty, thriving health, peace, justice, magic, and harmony for each other and all ecosystems.

It’s super challenging for me to write this and ask for help, but I’m in a situation where I truly need support. Over the past few years, my health has severely unraveled due to toxic black mold exposure, parasites, and other toxic overload. Despite all my efforts, I haven’t been able to recover fully. I’ve reached a point where I need access to specialized treatments and to create a stable, mold-free living environment to heal—and I can’t do it alone.

I know that so many people are struggling in these challenging times, but I am reaching out for help because I have a HUGE desire to move into thriving health and vitality so that I can be of greater service to humanity and the world. I have big dreams, but I can’t fulfill them in my state. Please help me reclaim my body, health, mental health and stability so I can have the strength to offer my greatest gifts to the world.

My Journey: How Toxic Mold Took Over My Life

In 2019, while living in a sublet in Santa Cruz, I was first exposed to toxic black mold. I started experiencing strange symptoms—brain fog, exhaustion, and headaches. After that, I ended up in a moldy house on the Big Island of Hawaii. My tongue got a huge black patch on it, and simple things like walking down the street felt impossible, and I knew something was wrong.



At the encouragement of my naturopath, I moved to the desert in Arizona to try to heal and avoid mold. I continued to struggle with major fatigue, depression, and many other symptoms. My tongue turned black four more times over several months. I got tested, and mold was detected in my gut, sinuses, breast tissue, and other tissues throughout my body. I wasn’t getting better. Then, in 2022, I was exposed again to black mold multiple times while living in Sedona, and everything got significantly worse. I developed chemical sensitivities, new allergies, chronic fatigue, migraines, and digestive issues.

After leaving Sedona, I healed a reasonable amount but have now been re-exposed since living on Maui. I have developed SUCH a strong allergy and sensitivity to mold and other toxins and allergens. I’ve had to move 11 times in the last 5 months, trying to find a safe, mold-free home, but my body remains stuck in survival mode.

Things that should be simple and easy have become extremely difficult. If I do something involving several steps, I often forget what step I am on. I wake up most mornings with sore eyes, feeling spacey, loopy, ill, and out of it. I had to copy my car VIN the other day, and it felt like it took me 20 minutes and a valiant effort to get my brain to do the correct thing. I have many symptoms, but the brain fog, fatigue, emotional breakdowns, and constant headaches are the worst.

Mold illness is a real yet often misunderstood condition. Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) produces mycotoxins, which can wreak havoc on the nervous system, immune function, and detox pathways.

In our modern world, we’re constantly exposed to a cocktail of toxins—from mold in buildings to chemicals in water, air, and food—that can silently burden the body over time. This toxic overload can disrupt hormones, weaken immunity, and trigger chronic illnesses that are difficult to trace back to their source. I’ve become a very sensitive little creature-being that has gotten overloaded with these toxins. And I need support in building my immunity and resiliency to offer my gifts to this world.

A brain exposed to toxic mold and mycotoxins is typically not a very happy or balanced brain. As a result, the spectrum of cognitive impairments and psychological symptoms that can arise during and after mold exposure can be extensive and can mimic mental health conditions that are already prevalent in our society.

Cognitive/psychological symptoms of mold and/or mycotoxin exposure may include:
• Confusion
• Brain fog
• Trouble finding words
• Loss of concentration
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Irritability
• Insomnia
• Anger

Consistent mold exposure, autoimmune diseases, or other conditions can disrupt your body’s ability to defend itself against intruders or repair damage. That’s why it’s essential to support your immune system with nutraceuticals, homeopathic, and herbs designed to keep it working at its best.

Also, long-term exposure to toxic black mold can lead to chronic inflammation, immune system dysregulation, and DNA damage, which are all factors that may increase the risk of developing cancer over time. Which is why it's crucial that I take care of this more deeply now.

Signs of immune disruption/compromise include:
• Prone to infections, viruses, and illness
• Chronic Fatigue
• Frequently sick
• Muscle weakness and soreness
• Low endurance
• GI issues
• Exercise intolerance
• Lyme’s disease
• Epstein Barr virus
• Swollen Lymph Nodes

What This Has Done to My Health

I’ve been dealing with a cascade of symptoms, including:
✅ Severe brain fog & memory issues – making it hard to work and focus
✅ Extreme fatigue & chronic pain – some days, even basic tasks feel impossible
✅ Headaches & migraines – nearly daily, disrupting my ability to function
✅ Vertigo & dizziness
✅ Digestive issues & immune dysfunction – my gut health has been severely impacted
✅ Chemical sensitivities & nervous system dysregulation – my body reacts to everyday substances much more now than before
✅ Sleep disturbances, depression & anxiety – mold toxicity affects neurotransmitters and mental health
✅ Extreme emotions – trouble staying centered and balanced and experiencing frequent emotional breakdowns

Mold exposure is a huge but often overlooked public health crisis. Studies have linked it to neuroinflammation, autoimmunity, chronic fatigue syndrome, and even neurodegenerative diseases. Yet, because it mimics so many conditions, people often go years without proper diagnosis or treatment. That’s partly what happened to me.

Why I’m Asking for Help

Despite working with holistic practitioners and trying every healing modality I can access and afford, I haven’t been able to get ahead of this. At the same time, my housing instability has drained my resources, and my work has been affected as well. My main business partner and boss—who I rely on for income—was recently diagnosed with cancer, making things even more financially uncertain for me. As she heals from cancer (donate here) and focuses on her health, which is super crucial for her to do right now, I will not be able to receive the income that I typically do.

I need immediate support to afford the following:
  • Specialized mold testing – including GI-MAP, Organic Acids Test, MycoTOX, and toxic/heavy metal tests.
  • Detox treatments – including ozone & infrared saunas, supplements, binders, and a brain retraining program
  • Naturopathic & functional medicine care – working with doctors who understand and specialize in mold illness, toxicology, and female health
  • Mold clearing & reduction devices for my current home to create safe housing, stability, and a healing sanctuary – includes purchasing UV lights, EC3 fogging machine and EC3 cleaning products, home cleaning, and remediation fees
  • Emergency living expenses – support in covering rent & utilities while I recover and stabilize my work and while my boss heals from cancer and my income is paused (temporarily).

How You Can Help
✨ $10 – Every little bit helps!!!
✨ $50 – Helps cover a detox treatment session
✨ $100 – Contributes to essential lab testing
✨ $250 – Supports rent for a safe living space
✨ $500+ – Helps fund advanced therapies for deep healing and mold prevention tools

If you can donate, even a little bit goes SUCH a long way. And it is SO SO deeply appreciated :)

And if you can’t donate, sharing this with others would mean the world to me. I’m determined to heal and get back to doing the work I love—helping bring more joy, beauty, healing, connection, and coherency to the world and others and supporting conscious communities. But right now, I need my community to lift me up!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, supporting, and sharing. Your kindness and generosity mean more than I can express. It is so hard to ask for help, but I am trying to break that resistance in my ancestral line. And these crowdfunding options can make such a difference in a really easy, streamlined way! So again, every tiny little bit is SO incredible and SO helpful.

With so much aloha, love, and gratitude,
Lindsey
