God Bless you for placing this email here. I have been sick due to mold for

two years and after moving out of the environment I find myself in another

toxic mold apartment. After treatment my levels have gone higher and the

doctor won't even treat me until I move again. I have no idea where I am

going to go. I could pay deposits and move into another place only to find

it contaminated also. My income is gone completely and renting a room in

someone's home is looking like the best option just so I can move quickly if

again the place is contaminated. I have been homebound for more than a year

now. The computer I use is a loaner and when I move I will give it back. I

have known for some time I need a laptop since I have no idea how many times

I will have to move again. I need the internet to stay in touch with people

since I am homebound and continue to search for cures and uncontaminated

places to live. I had no idea how i could get one but thanks to you my

dream may become a reality. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
