Support Donny's healing journey & legal battle against mold

I never thought I’d be writing this for myself, but here I am humbling myself to ask for support. I had reached out to a few friends for help putting this together, but when I didn’t hear back, I realized I needed to tell my own story, speak my voice in a balanced way, and as uncomfortable as it is to ask for help, I know I can’t do this alone!

Over the past year, my life was completely turned upside down due to toxic mold exposure in my home without my knowledge. I was living in an environment that was slowly making me sick. Buddy even threw up every day for 6 months straight. My landlord never admitted there was mold, lied multiple times, the movers were showing me everywhere it was, and I have video of the remediation team telling me there is FOR SURE mold.

But the impact on my health, work, and overall well-being has been undeniable for the past year. I have struggled with symptoms that have affected not only my physical health but also my energy, mental clarity, and even my personality has changed, as I've been reminded now a few times. As someone who’s dedicated my life to helping others heal through yoga, meditation, and personal development, I now find myself in a place where I need healing and support more than ever. Beyond the toll on my health, I now face a legal battle. The other side's tactic is clear: to drain me financially and wear me down, but I have truth and God on my side!

My landlord has openly lied multiple times in email threads, and with the right backing, I have a slam dunk case. This fight isn’t just for me. He also opened up a piece of certified mail that had to do with our court date, which obviously my lawyer and I never received. But he left incriminating evidence on the envelope. It's crazy that I'm even writing this right now.

However, it’s about holding people accountable and ensuring no one else has to go through what I’ve endured. This illness is a quiet crisis, like a brain injury, one that nobody can see. So you can imagine the gaslighting. I had never used that word before this case. When I sent my lawyer, the details, she responded and said his behavior is "vile." That's when I knew I had to step up and be a voice.

Every single penny will go towards legal fees and the retaining of some key stuff I lost in the mess. Please understand how hard it was to write this and ask for help.
