Venting

[Guest guest]

I post this message because I feel like a Vietnam Vet. Although my

heart goes out to the victims of Katrina and other disasters, what

about the victims of mold DISASTERS.

We are treated the same as the poor Vietnam Vets. We are ignored

and left to die.

My husband and I had to leave everything 4 years ago he was 62 and I

was 55. He had had a stroke and heart attack caused from the mold

although no one will admit it. He could no longer work and I got

fired from my job on Tuesday after we had to leave our home on

Saturday. We had no income. We had no safety net. No one offered

us a place to stay, no one paid our hotel bills or brought us food,

or even thought again as to what might happen to us or where we

might go.

I read today they are bringing in special dogs to help soothe the

pain of the victims of Katrina. Where's our special dog? I read

that some of those poor people cry uncontrollably and will suffer

mental anguish for years to come and some will never overcome the

pain they indured.

I also cry uncontrollably, and I don't know if I will ever overcome

the pain. Do you know if you can overcome your pain and loss?

Has anyone offered any of you a place to stay until you can recover

from your pain and loss? Has anyone brought food to you, or brought

your medicine? Has anyone given you a vehicle or put you into

business or given you a monthly check, or better yet, have you seen

an insurance payment?

I read on our group a person is living in a tent !! I can relate to

that, because when we had to leave our house all we had was a 15

foot camper and we pitched a tent beside it to have a place to cook

and sit. Where is FEMA? Where is the RED CROSS? Where is the

National News Media? I read that one of our young mold victims has

passed away. Will there be any National News about this horrible

tragedy?

There is power in numbers. I have read for the past 4 years on this

post of all the things you all have tried to do and nothing has

helped.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how we can reach out and contact

more mold victims? Maybe we could bond together someway and help

each other. After all it seems to me (from sitting on the side

lines) that each other are all we have. People who have not been

through this cannot understand.

Maybe our personal tragedy's have happened to bring us together to

help each other.

I am interested to hear any ideas anyone might have. I am also

interested to hear if any of you have the same feelings as I do

regarding the way we are being treated.

May the love of Jesus Christ surround you and protect you at this

special time of year.

Merry Christmas Everyone
