Hey, you guys rock!!! I pray to go yo choose this family for it has left me in tears just reading this article. I can definately feel for these people for I am scared that we have been breathing this crazy stuff in for about 3 and a half years. I rent this home and am about to tell the owner what I think has been happening in this house. I cannot even begin to tell you the fear I have as I have started learning about mold and what it does and how it spreads. I have found out that this house has not had a new roof in at least twenty years and it has tar patch all over the roof from where the fix it guy “fixed” it 6 months after I started calling about the leak that was coming straight through the roof and through the ceiling. Through my light fixtures and all. I didn’t even begin to think of how long it took to be able to come through the ceiling let alone how long it sat there after he tarred it in the nice desert sun. Of course come to find out the patch is supposedly only temporary but I do not know for sure. I don’t even know how to approach the subject because I don’t like to complain but I am tired of being sick. I met, for the first time, the owner of the house about three weeks ago. He showed up unannounced on a day where , ironically enough, my youngest was home sick. He was here to ask me about the leak in celing in the kitchen. I said no that it did not leak anymore, which was true. I then let him w that his repairman had tarred it about 6 months ago. He seemed suprised or confused or maybe he just had no idea. I dont know. However the sad thing is , it had been a year since the first time I had called about the roof. I would love for someone to tell me that they have no record of me calling but the fact of the matter is he showed up here asking about it. A year after it started. And also I asked if he would be in town for a bit, so as I could get appropriately dressed and such. He said he would be leaving soon and left me his card. I am now at the point where Ihinthatthe damage in this house is a bit more than I even could imagine. I hope I am wrong but whatever the case, wish me luck because I won’t let it lye now that I have sooooo many red flags going up. I have to say I think you guys are angels because if you can let a family rest their head at night and actually sleep, than you have to be because one family at a time you are making peoples dreams, and realities come true. I watched your Kansas edition being that my ex husband and in laws live there. My son is there every summer and we thought it rocked when we watched what you all did and the people that pulled together as a community also. I am hoping that someday we will see you in Barstow, Ca for whatever the reason. That would be awesome! I know it must be hard to decide on a family to pick and I know I have gotten a little off subject because I am so self centered, jk, kinda…….but when I came across this article I was just thinking of when and how to call my landlord. My husband is civil service in Iraq and dang I don’t want to do this alone, but I am really not , And if that is the case well, then so be it . I am sure sooner is definately better than later and I know that for the family in this article it is most definatly so. I cannot imagine what they are going through yet I can because it is what I have been petrified of for a little while now. Please please help them get there dreams back and when and if they wake up in their own home healthy and happy they will realize its not. It is real and that is the dream they want and need . thnks Dani
