Re: Write to Oprah: Conference Calls April 3 a.m/p.m.

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

My name is Letitia and this is my first time posting. Here's my

brief story: I was exposed to mold at my Federal job in Washington,

DC which has made me unble to work due to my recent diagnosis of chronic fatigue

syndrome, fibromyalgia and neuralgia in my legs. I was the only one who was

complaining. Everyday I am in pain from mild to very severe, I am basically

confined to my bed. For me, I was not able to write anymore after I wrote

letters to my employer, OSHA, Worker's Comp and NIOSH to no avail. Recently, I

won one of my

worker's comp cases due to " allergy to mold " . I had to sell my

townhouse before it went into foreclosure, because my empoyer made the decision

to put me in continuous Leave Without Pay. (Does this sound familiar?)

I'm still able to talk, so I would call KC, Sharon and Larry (fellow mold buddy)

to vent. Thank goodness for them, because I was living alone and I really needed

someone to talk to because I thought that I was going to die. I call them my

" mold buddies " . I also did alot of praying and I still do. I believe that God

has allow me to be here for a reason. Right now, we do not have a voice and I

would like to help us get a " voice " . We have to make alot of noise and we

definitely need the help of others, our families, friends,

associates, co-workers to make this a success.

Recently, I told them that I have a website that I would like to

develop for mold victims like us. I have a my web developer who can

input the information onto the website. If the

community is interested, I would need your support to get this

website up and running. (NO ONE HAS TO DO ANYTHING, BUT SEND

INFORMATION TO ME AND HE CAN DO ALL THE WORK FOR US.) I support the

writing campaign and I agree that we have to do it systematically.

As a certified event planner and I have gotten publicity for my

events both on the radio and in print. This is something that I can

help out with.

There is one thing that I would like to do is to hold a weekly

conference call for the mold victims to talk about whatever. It can

be your time to vent (smile) I know for me, I just needed someone to talk to

who understood what I was going through. One in the

afternoon and evening. What do you think?

This has been in my head for a very long time and now I would like to share it

with you.

This is what I proposed:

Let's get started NOW!

Please join me on Mon. April 3 Teleconference @ 12:00 p.m. - 2:00

p.m. OR @ 8:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.(Eastern time)

Dial-in: 712-432-3000 Bridge No. 121019

The conference calls has a 250 participant capacity and it is Free.

If you have 3-way calling, please use it. If you have any questions,

during the conference call, please send them to

mold_activist@... . A follow-up email of the teleconferences

will be sent to the group about our decisions.

Proposed topics:

Mold Victims: Weekly Conference Calls- share information

Establish a committee

Website - will give us the web presence, mold victim stories, What is mold?,

tips for mold victims, upcoming events, i.e. letter writing campaign, press

releases,mold resources/links, examples of letters written. I would like to

start a non-proft for mold victims eventually.

Campaign _ media - radio,tv (local affiliates), organizations, Tv:

Oprah, Montel, 360, Congress representatives,

Develop forms for mold victims to tell their stories and for our

family, friends, and associates

April 3-5

Send in your mold stories someone who is not in ligitation (worked

for Federal,County, State, and Corporation) with before (the mold

exposure) and after pictures, which can be posted on the website.

Pictures can tell alot. We want people to feel our pain. (Any

volunteers?)

The sooner that I receive the information the more time that the

webdeveloper will have to do it.

Sat. April 8th

3 Live Teleconferences for our Family, Friends, and Associates

Testomonies from mold victims (any volunteers) & why we need their

help for the writing campaign

12:00 p.m. (EST)

5:00 p.m. (EST)

9:00 p.m. (EST)

Are these times good?

Any suggestions?

I just don't want to hear another story of someone committing

suicide because they felt hopeless or the pressure was too much for

them. Our lives have been ruined. Our careers have been ruined. We

no longer have the quality of life that we once had. No one seems to

care about us and we are Americans. Let's change this perspective. I

know that I can do only so much and I need your support.

My motto is " You stand for what's right, even if you stand alone. "

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you,

Letitia s aka " DC METRO MOLD LADY "
