Dear friends, family, and kind strangers,
I’m writing to you today asking for your help because for the past 5+ years I was unknowingly living in a home severely contaminated with toxic mold. This hidden danger has had a devastating impact on my health, directly causing me to develop intense fibromyalgia, impairing my movement.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition causing widespread pain, profound fatigue, sleep disturbances, memory issues, and mood changes. The presence of that toxic mold created a debilitating illness that has manifested as severe Fibromyalgia, leaving me in constant, intense pain and significantly impacting every aspect of my life. I can no longer live the way I once did. Even though I have recently moved out of that toxic environment, the damage has been done, and I am still facing a long road to recovery.
The journey to healing is a lot to deal with both emotionally and financially. I am facing significant financial burdens related to:
• Medical Care & Therapies: I urgently need ongoing visits with specialists, targeted therapies, and alternative treatments to address the root causes of my illness and managing my severe symptoms. This includes appointments with environmental medicine doctors, functional medicine practitioners, and other therapeutic interventions needed for detoxification and pain management, all aimed at reversing the damage caused by the mold.
• Legal Fees: I am pursuing legal action against the responsible parties to seek justice and accountability for the damages caused by this toxic living environment. Lawyer fees are substantial, and I desperately need support to have proper representation and hold those accountable for my suffering and compensation for my medical bills and losses.
• Ongoing Recovery & Replacement Expenses: Even though I’ve moved many of my belongings had to be discarded due to contamination, and there are costs related to creating and maintaining a truly mold-free living space where I can continue to heal without fear of being exposed again. My priority now is a safe, healthy environment to recover in.
I’ve always prided myself on being strong and independent. I’ve always tried to be there for others, and now I truly need your help more than ever. The financial strain of my ongoing medical treatments and legal battle is overwhelming, adding more stress to an already difficult situation.
Any size donation can make a difference in my ability to access the care I need to heal and regain control of my life fully. Your support will help me cover:
• Doctor’s appointments and more testing for mold toxicity and Fibromyalgia.
• medications and supplements for detoxification and symptom management.
• IV therapy, physical therapy, acupuncture, chelation therapy) crucial for my recovery.
• Legal consultations and ongoing fees to ensure justice.
• Costs associated with maintaining a safe, mold-free environment where I can fully recover.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity. This is a challenging but hopefully healing journey. I am so grateful for any support you can offer.
Thank you,
Joyce
