Help the Pulver’s - Restoring Isaac
Donation protected

Apparently mold is a neurotoxin. And it can wreck the health of your children. After months of feeling like we were losing our funny, energetic, fearless son to major sleep disturbances, aggression, violent outbursts, severe anxiety and fear, to not being able to be left alone, complete a task, sit down for a meal, to doctor visits, testing, and turning our family inside out, we are immensely thankful to have found the root cause: severe mold toxicity. And it’s in our favorite older home, in the HVAC, kitchen, laundry and bathroom (which explains why the symptoms skyrocketed when we were quarantined for months on end). Two weeks ago the lab tests came back with mold levels in the house 5x higher than in the outside air. We then found out last week that Isaac's mold toxicity levels are off the charts. Within a week of turning off our HVAC, the anger started to subside. While his symptoms are the loudest, quite a few issues of minor and major variety fall under the mold umbrella for the rest of the family. We’re buying some time while the weather is tolerable (and HVAC is off with air purifiers running 24/7) to start planning with mold remediators, doctors and contractors, to find temporary lodging and to secure financing.....to the tune of multiple tens of thousands of dollars.
When all this wildness started in March and April, I had the distinct feeling that I would need to be vulnerable, be seen and ask for help. I.had.no.idea. So here we are, asking for your help. We're looking into any possible option to move the ball down the court to see our little guy start to heal - we miss the boy we know is in there.
We believe that where there are many hands the work is light, and we are asking for you to partner with us on this journey. Whether it is the amount of a coffee or a larger gift, we appreciate your willingness to help us.
And one last request, if you feel so inclined, would you please share this with your friends and family?
We are grateful for you and your kindness during this tough season.
