Urgent Help for Crystal's Family: Restore Our Home

Dear friends, family, and kind strangers,

I never imagined I'd be here reaching out for help. Our home, once a place of comfort and refuge, has turned into a health hazard. Recently, we discovered a mold infestation that has taken over most of our home. The mold has not only damaged our walls and furniture but has also affected our health and well-being!

This situation is especially urgent because I'm a parent and foster parent to several incredible children, many who have disabilities. Our home has always been a safe and nurturing space where they can grow, heal, and thrive, but now the mold is putting their health at serious risk. For kids with compromised immune systems and respiratory challenges, this environment is dangerous. At this point of time we absolutely cannot stay in our own home due to the toxicity. For our safety we had to relocate our big family to my gracious neighbors house and for that we are so thankful for her kindness, I, myself am facing my own health challenges as I battle through the lasting effects of my own trauma, but I'm determined to stay strong for my kids, my family, and myself. I've always embraced the motto "Crystal Strong" to remind myself that no matter what life throws my way, I will keep pushing forward. I've always taken pride in helping others as to why God chose my path and career in the nursing field. I've always been a giver and have taught my 9 children since they were very young to always give to those who need! No matter if it's just lending an ear opening up my home to take in others or inviting them to church! Infact in church there was a service about giving and my girls and I donated our shoes (yes the ones on our feet) we just took them off and handed them over! So asking for help does not come easy for me because I've always been the one who gives!

The cost of professional mold remediation, replacing walls and damaged furniture, and ensuring our home is safe again are overwhelming as just the remediation will cost over $30,000. As much as I hate to ask, we need help to make our house livable once more. Here's where your support can help:

..Professional mold removal to eliminate the threat

...Replacing damaged walls, floors, and furniture

...Additional medical costs due to the exposure to mold

Our goal is to raise $50,000 to cover these essential expenses. Every donation, big or small, will bring us closer to creating a safe and healthy home for our family. As a loving parent, I've always promised to provide love and stability to all my children. Right now, I need your help to keep that promise. Even if you can't contribute financially, sharing our story would mean the world to us! We are beyond blessed that you took the time to read our story! God is so good all the time!!!! For that we will always be forever grateful! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support. Together, we can rebuild our safe haven and stay "Crystal Strong."

Update: After Having two plumbers and a representative from water resource company it is determined to be a bursted pipe leading from water meter to main line under our home! So your help will go toward fixing it all! We are so blessed and grateful for all of you! Remember God is so good all of the time!

Update:

Unfortunately due to the damage the water has done under house the foundation is slipping! Now all of this has to be fixed...I have contractors coming out and trying to get assistance with other organizations but to no avail as of yet! Please help my family! We want nothing more than to live normal lives again...my girls alone have been thru a lot just in their tiny little lives! This just isn't fair! If I could I'd fixt all myself but that's impossible! We are praying for a miracle and hanging on to a hope! We believe with God all things are possible!
