Help The Drovers Go Home
Donation protected
A year and a half ago Melissa & Kyle purchased their first home as a young family with great excitement! They decided with their new stability of being home owners they would expand their family, and soon found out they were pregnant with their second child Colton, who is now 7 months.
During Melissa’s pregnancy they discovered their new home that seemed so perfect on the outside, had major problems internally and these issues were making Melissa quite ill. The family moved out immediately and found their attic was riddled with mold. Researching more and having the attic investigated thoroughly, they found out the inspector who had originally passed their home with flying colors before purchase, had done a shoddy job and missed the toxic mold growing rapidly in their attic. Costing them over $10,000 for repairs, they used their savings to fix the problem, and returned to their home, with the hopes the worst of it was over.
Recently the whole family started feeling ill again. Melissa and Kyle searched their home worried the mold had returned, and with great frustration, realized it had. Melissa packed up her two young children and have been staying with friends and family ever since. The toxic mold is riddled throughout the whole house.…inside the walls, and insulation. The whole family are now sleeping on air mattresses on the floor of family members, without the chance of returning home anytime soon. The repair costs are very high and the family’s financials are spread thin with Melissa still on Maternity Leave. In the hope of being able to return home soon, they are desperate for any help anyone can provide.
The family is hoping for financial assistance with the cost of repairs or even donations of materials would be greatly appreciated. Melissa and Kyle would be eternally grateful for any helping hand you could extend them during this time of need.
