Help us get our home back!

Hey,
I'm Lacy Harris and I'm not even sure if this will work. I'm not one to do this, as i like being the helper but, we desperately need the help!

We are a family of 6. We bought our home in 2020. Today we found out our home has toxic mold and it's making us incredibly sick. Our doctor referred us, to get more tests done.. so we can figure out what mold exactly... so I'll update on the results for that... but we need to replace our furnace, as it is 20 years old and leaks ALL condensation onto the floor. Which is like a gallon, we were told. Of which, we have now found A LOT of black mold on the walls or some sort of mold. We've been trying to control the leak but it's obviously not working and we just need to replace the furnace all together. I've been quoted a lot of money, that we definitely dont have. We'll need to rip out most of our drywall in the basement.. and hope it's not an uglier story inside the walls too....

To make matters worse, we found our bathroom vents... go to our attic and not outside our roof, like they're suppose too. I'm much to scared to even look up there now... We also have popcorn ceilings and I feel we need to test it for asbestos now.

But our first home, is making us sick and we really really need help paying for a new furnace and replacing drywall and who knows what else.. so we can live in our home safely again... My youngest children, have been coughing and congestion galore, for close to 2 months now. We can't sleep well. We're miserable. We have no where else to stay nor can afford too.. so we still have to sleep in the home. It's like a Neverending congestion cold. Several symptoms we just cant shake. I've been sick for over a year and Lots of doctors couldn't figure out what has been wrong with me but, relieving this may be the cause..... 

Financially, we hit a brick wall though and really could use the help. I'm not one to ask for help but I'm desperate and we have no money.. My family is getting sick. If we could afford, to just move and buy a new home... trust me, I would for my family. Please, help us fix our home though.... so we can work towards getting healthy again. Toxic mold is no joke and I fear for my family.

Thank you all, If you've read this far.
I don't know if this sort of thing will work on us getting help but, Mama has to try.
Please help this Mama fight for her families health!
