dear Elvira:

Good for you. I think you're doing all kind of searching and sites, like me.  When we get in the pain we do..how can we ist here and do nothing.  Like you said about the children and grans..I just cannot even imagine any child going thru this torment.  I've been at the ER..I got a bad exposure being stuck in a work zone. I guess it was the asphalt and junk they were using. I thought the mcs was baout gone..but I often get surprised, and like you know after we've already breathed it..it's too late... I'm back home..I have no insurace, no doctor to even order the right tests.. I think I have some sort of brain toxicity, cause my pupils go away and I can't see..and the haedache..wow..

 

But you know what..with good people like Elvira out there working..we are going to beat this.  I'm not close to any of those places you mentioned..but I'm happy to talk to whomever did the show IF you think our story would have an impact on the overall health problem.  I know I put these ugly photos and story out alot.  I do that because, I figure if the right people see the real PAIN and effects of toxic mold, maybe they will take notice of all the people who can have this happen to them.  I want to share other stories, I just have to have it sort of in a synopsis.  I don't want to take out important things..but if it gets too long (at least of a blog, some people won't read it all.)  If we can get yours together pretty orderly..share just the basics of how you've lost your housing because of your illness...and the many places you've been..and like us, homeless...and what it's done to your health..I would love to post your story on my sites.... Do you have a before and after photos... The one of me and Tlee dancing in late 2002, was the only one i could find..but it showed us happy and enjoying music..

The others show what toxic mold did to me...

 

You know, I started these blogs and such just to be a support to all the people out there suffering.  I don't yet have any money..heck< I haven't even been able to get my regular medicines for bone, thyroid and other illnesses.. I can't go to a dr... I was blest to have found a dr. in NC that treated me for the mold illness for several months or i'd be dead..I can't make thse trips..the gas is almost 4.00 a gallon..I get my sporanox thru an agency cause this dr. told them without it I was not going to make it, problably..and I take my pain med...

 

Just becuase i can't help them financially, I can be a support for them, and answer the questions I know.  I always try to tell people about sickbuildings and how they helped us and so many others.  I'm working with a couple of drs. in other states who want to help us.  I'm posting info they gave me..and things I think will help them, Elvira.  And I will talk to any of them on the phone...unless I'm too sick to talk..but I CARE..even if all I can do is pray with them, and try to encourage them to keep hope..That's the reasong I started groups and blogs..that and to also share the only other thing me and tlee have left..our music...

 

I've never been one to ask anyone for help. I thank the church for letting us sleep there 2 months and i thank a Christian dentist I used to go to church with..he is fixing some of my top teeth that the toxins got in..they've been hurting since 2003.. I pay him what i can..but he cares about me, not the money..I had 2 old computers and a bed and dresser given to me..  I'm very thankful for this or i couldn't work on this mold issue or our music.

 

But like you know, Elvira..being sick is hard..being sick and homeless is harder...being trapped in a mold home is raelly bad, but if you leave and have nowhere to even escape the heat and cold, it's just as bad....I trust God and I know He wants me to reach out and let people know they are not alone.  I'd never do anything but extend total compassion to anyone sick from mold because i know how hard it is..I will talk to them night or day..If I can't I'll call them back... I also know there ARE people out there that would help people in a situation like us..IF they knew..So I just pray the right people find us.

 

I pray for you, Elvira.  I know you were homeless..Did you ever get a home.  we did and I'm SO thankful.. I'll be glad when we have something to sit on, and I can get some new phtos of my kids, etc..and maybe one day get our studio decontaminated..But I'm just gald i have a place I can breathe.  Tlee was a smoker all his life. He has not smoked in 9 days. I'm SO proud of him... I know that must be a hard habit to break..   

 

You're a trooper.  I've written so many emails..and sometimes i've lost focus or made mistakes..things I didn't even remember writing.  I try to do a good job and be careful..but when you are a sick person helping a sick person, it's hard to do all we want to do.  I've noticed how hard you work and I appreciate your efforts.  I hope and pray someone will help you get on your feet..and all the other people who need homes, medical care, clothes, medicine..and just love and support.

 

There's a million sites.. I figure if I can reach out and let people know they are not alone, that's what I should do.  I try to live my life and still follow my hopes and dreams.  sometimes i get faulted for that..but it's okay.  I know how I feel, i know what is in mine and tlees heart, and I know what we've lived thru. Some people don't underatdn if I just quit living and curl up and crawl in a corner, I may as well be dead.. I'll do what my body allows me to and feel good about it...  I also know there are 1000's more just like us and I truly WANT to encourage them to also keep a positive attitude and don't give up on your hopes and dreams.. I'm thankful KC and sickbuildings gave me encouragement and contacts.  I think God uses us all in His perfect will.  He IS using you, Elvira and i know in my heart you really acre about others and I just want you to know I care about YOU.

 

I did another story..when it posts i'll send it to you.  I also have a site http://www.myspace.com/faceoftoxicmold  I'd love to have you as a friend. I also put some info on trichothecene on there...Just take care of yourself...Share your story with all you can, you are a strong lady...
