This week after returning home from ten days away, I became very ill within minutes of being back in the house that we rent. Nausea. Vomiting. Horribly painful headache. Lungs burnings. Pain throughout my body. I had been dealing with these symptoms for a few months, but I realized right away that something had to be seriously wrong with the house that we rent and it wasn’t just my pregnancy as I had been feeling AMAZING while I was away. I thought I was on the upswing this pregnancy, but I was wrong. It isn’t my pregnancy making me so sick.
We’ve been home for a few days now and I can hardly make it through the day. It’s nearly impossible to juggle working from home and caring for three kids with this level of fatigue. My lungs are constantly burning as if I smoked an entire package of cigarettes. We have discovered mold and water damage spots throughout our house, which likely means the damage is deep in the walls and will be a lengthy mitigation (if our landlord will even do the right thing and hire mold a remediation specialist. Right now he believes his general contractor can handle it). Our kids have level 2 mold illness symptoms. My husband is sick. He’s lost out on income because they don’t want to take any chances that he has COVID rather than mold sickness. I’ve lost hours and hours of work this week as well due to illness and dealing with trying to get my landlord to take this concern seriously. We are not at all in a position to come up with a rental deposit and moving expenses as quickly as we need to get out of here, and it appears that after speaking with professionals who deal with this sort of thing everyday, we need to leave here ASAP but we have no where to go.
I’d never in a million years ask publicly for help if it wasn’t this serious. We are hoping to raise enough to cover our deposit and moving expenses. If you can’t help financially, if you could pray for God to move in big and mighty ways, we would REALLY appreciate it.
