Family in Need

Donation protected
Hello! My name is Angelica, reaching out to help my aunt Maritza, her husband, and their 7 children.

Recently, they had moved into their new home, located in New Britain.

Two of their younger children, one around the age of 5 and the other 14, ended up being rushed to the hospital. They bled from their mouth and nose, and upon staying a few days at the hospital, found out they had mercury poisoning.

This was due to mercury being left in their home by previous owners. Because the mercury was so high, they also settled the news less than a day after giving a diagnosis that the house's foundation had a high count as well.

This would result in their home being demolished, and now with nowhere to live, and little money to spare (because they spent a lot of it on moving costs and whatnot), they are now staying in a hotel.

They have lost everything. A home, and all of their belongings. They weren't even allowed to enter their own home, to say goodbye. Mercury counts on the other children were high, but not to the extent of hospital-ridden, luckily.

Any and ALL donations are greatly appreciated. All will go to their hotel payments, food, and clothes unless they earn enough to pay for a rental apartment. Then partially will go down for the rental, and the rest between food and clothes.

Thank you so much for listening.
