We alert you to a family of four with two kids (4, 2) that suffered chemical poisoning in their rental unit over Memorial Day weekend. The mother is currently 38 weeks pregnant. The entire family began coughing violently and vomiting blood. The cause was unknown but thought to be freon poisoning. They we forced to leave their home and go to a hotel. They also learned about neighbors who had similar symptoms. They remained ill for the following week. As you can imagine, the family was very concerned for the mother who is due in the next two weeks. Their rental agency allowed them out of their lease, but they have been forced to stay in motels and with friends.

We have been tracking with this family for the past week and received great news this morning. The baby was born healthy, and all their symptoms are subsiding. The minor emergency is that they must check out of the hospital and have nowhere to go. They are working on finding a new home, but the unexpected move and expensive hotel bills have left them unable to secure a short-term rental while they figure out their housing situation. We have located a short-term rental where they can stay for five weeks costing $2,900. Let’s help this family through this tough time by providing a respite until they find another place to live.
