<div><strong>U  P  D  A  T  E     !!!!!!     Sorry for the length. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I updated this page for my daughter’s family as I did not get as many responses as I had prayed for, but they were so grateful for the donations they did receive. It’s really amazing how people can come together for complete strangers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I had hoped that things would get better for Dave, Sandi, and the kids, but they are still in the nightmare from hell and as a mother it’s brutal to watch, knowing you can’t stop it. But I can do something by reaching out to others as this could happen to anyone….you never know when your entire world will flip upside down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, the rental that Dave, Sandi, and the kids had to move into last July 2025 is filled with mold. Two assessments have confirmed this as Sandi was certain from day 1, but they had no choice in moving into the home at the time. All 4 of them are slowly getting sicker and unable to function daily. My grandson, Logan, is in his last semester of high school and has been so sick that he can’t go to school. He has very little hope that he will be able to go to college as Dave and Sandi spend all their time fighting the landlord, finding yet another home for them to live in that’s safe, or simply being so run down from the constant, daily survival mode. My granddaughter, Lyla, wants to move back to the area where they once lived and start her life as a regular 16-year old yet she suffers from the effects of the mold exposure. This was not suppose to happen again!! Even their beloved dog, Koufax, has even been affected. They should not have to be going through this AGAIN!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The landlord is only making matters worse for them by refusing to remediate the home or even acknowledge the results confirming mold….twice. Instead they badger them to move, blame them for the mold, and refuse to remediate the home. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your gracious donation, no matter how big or small, will go towards the following:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1) <strong>Finding a Home:</strong> Help them be able to move and afford moving costs (deposit, movers, first month’s rent).
</div>
<div>2) <strong>Replacing Items</strong>: replacing items such as mattresses, porous furniture, clothes, bedding, etc, that they have to toss so they don’t cross contaminate their new home (for the 3rd time since 2022).
</div>
<div>3) <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Cost</strong>: detox medication for them when they are able to move out. This is crucial for everyone’s future, but the kids really need help before they have life long issues that they can’t detox from. They have been told they are looking at 3-4 years to fully detox and heal
</div>
<div>because of all the mold damage. Teenagers shouldn’t have this to worry about!!
</div>
<div>4) <strong>Basic Living and a Peace of Mind</strong>: basic living. The simple things like groceries. Peace. They haven’t had any in over 4 years and it’s their turn.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My daughter and her family only want what most of us have and take for granted…<strong>a place to call home</strong>. Because of the first loss they suffered in 2022 as a result of contractor negligence, they are not able to get into a rental because their once impeccable credit nose dived after losing everything. This will be the 3rd rental they have had that ended up having mold or the indoor air quality was dangerous for them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sandi is currently about to start mold consulting classes to become certified so that they don’t have to rely on expensive inspections an she will have the knowledge and certification to protect their home as well as being a service to others who need their homes checked.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your time and gracious heart!!

<div>Hello there— it’s Linda.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am Sandi’s mom and I am reaching out to ask for your help supporting my daughter and son-in-law, Sandi and Dave, as they continue to face another painful chapter in their 4-year journey trying to recover from losing their home of 12 years to toxic mold.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To recap— In 2022, the Kyle family had to make the painful decision to leave their beloved home on Chisel Point Drive. Sadly, 3 botched remediations that took place between 2020-2021, left the home assessed as uninhabitable and unsafe for them to continue living there. During that time, Dave lost his job with BP after 10+ years with the company. The cost of paying for remediations, assessments, rebuilding the house post remediation, staying in temporary housing, medical care for everyone, replacing furniture, paying a mortgage and rent at the same time, and more, forced the Kyles to drain their bank account, savings, pension, and spiral into a financial nightmare that continues today.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since 2021, Dave, Sandi, son Logan (now 18), and daughter Lyla (16) have had to live in dozens of homes since they moved out of their home due to mold. They began to get their lives back on track last summer when they moved into a house that they intended to buy by assuming the mortgage. There was FINALLY a glimmer of hope and healing. However, Dave’s contract job ended in December 2024 before the bank approved the mortgage assumption and wasn’t able to find work until he luckily found a new job this week; over 7 months since he was laid off with no income. They were able to lease this home, however, the lease ended on the 6/30 so they had to move. Their landlord, despite knowing their struggle and needing more time to find a safe home, was totally unsympathetic knowing they had no home to move into and no funds to be able to sign a new lease. Dave just started his new job the first week of July making it difficult to find someone that would lease to them. Fortunately, there was only 1 landlord that would approve them for a new lease, and unfortunately, based on the symptoms that Sandi and the kids are already having, the property most likely has mold. They do not have the money to pay for a mold assessment, nor do they have money to even pay for daily essentials or for moving, such as new shower curtains, bath matts, groceries, etc. until Dave gets his first paycheck, and that will be in two weeks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For a long time, they tried to quietly endure this situation, but they need help despite being embarrassed and feeling that everyone is tired of their story. Both families have helped the Kyle’s financially as much as possible but we are limited as both families are retired and on fixed budgets. This is their 4th move in 3 years and they just want a home to feel safe in and start to heal. It is hard to watch as parents especially since they have given literally everything they have to start over and hopefully have a chance to rebuild some memories with their kids. The kids have lost and missed milestones they will never get back because mold stole it from them. All of this due to the negligence of dirty contractors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dave and Sandi are extremely humble and under normal circumstances would never ask for this kind of help themselves. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping a family that has suffered and deserves to be able to heal, be happy and healthy.
