Help the O'Hearns After Total Mold Devastation!
Donation protected
My name is Ashley Kovacs and I've been friends with the O'Hearn family for many years. They have lived in their house for 4.5 years and they bought their house in July 2016.
They recently found out their house was filled with mold when a friend was there (who also had mold issues) and had a reaction. It motivated them to get it tested and they found the worst type of black mold and alarming levels of Chaetomium in the AIR and Aspergillus which produces mycotoxins and several other less serious forms.
Health problems they've experienced as a result:
Amanda:
Multiple miscarriages
Endometriosis
Hashimotos (Thyroid disorder)
Infertility
Painful lymph nodes
Brain fog
Gut issues
Food sensitivities
Their son:
Skin rashes and tiredness
For Patrick:
Extreme fatigue
Painful lymph nodes
Itchy skin
Brain fog
Heart palpatations
Muscle weakness symptoms (like M.S.)
**Their insurance company WON'T PAY ANYTHING and here is a list of the expenses they have accrued so far.
Expenses:
Mold testing $3K
Renting apartment/loss of use $6K
Mold cleaning supplies $550
Mold detoxing supplements $500
Loss of all furniture $?
Loss of most toys $?
Loss of Etsy shop materials $800+
Demolition of their house: $9,000
Remediation of their house: $7,000
Rebuilding of their house: around $20-30K minimum
Whole new kitchen
New flooring in the whole house
New cabinets
New appliances
New first floor bath/tub
Vanity replacement
New duct work in the crawl space
Other losses:
TV, all books, pillows, thick blankets, coats, all shoes & boots, school desk & all homeschool supplies, washer & dryer, crock pot, towels, beds, all decor etc.
**If you can give anything that will help this family the money will go towards fixing and remediating the house, getting it ready to sell, moving, paying mortgage and rent for an apartment at the same time, replacing items they lost, etc. It would be the most amazing gift for them and they would offer so many prayers in return!
