House of horrors – mold covers every surface & has taken over the drywall

In 2007, the couple's then-10-year-old daughter, Summer, developed an infection in her lungs that resulted in a partial-lung collapse.

"We didn't think about it at the time, but she was always coughing," Samantha says now. "She was constantly sick with headaches and stomachaches. Since we've been out of the house, all of them have been fine."

As the months passed, more leaks sprung throughout the house, and mold began covering the walls, the cabinets and the furniture.

Not long after, one of the two HVAC units quit. The other one became overtaxed and also died.

Mold took over everything, and the family was forced to move out for the sake of their health.

Johns Hopkins Says Crazy Po’ Black Mothers Worsen Child Asthma (As Opposed To Substandard Housing?)

Psychologists & “Non-profit” Medical Assoc Strike Again!

We know that sickbuildings are a leading cause of asthma in children. We know that contaminants in sickbuildings can cause neurocognitive symptoms that mimic depression.

So why are America’s medical schools still choosing to ignore this fact and label the physically ill, who are living in low income housing, as experiencing psychological problems that cause the worsening their children’s asthma? It is an insult to the intelligence of the American public and to mothers everywhere.
