From: " judit szaloki " <etoys@...>

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing on behalf of my friends Judit Szaloki, Larry and

their four children, whose story was written up in the March, 31,05-

April ,06,05 edition of the Hook see enclosed article:

sTa.htm to see if your company can help.

Judit, who has lovingly taken care of our children and many others

for the past 17 years in her in-home daycare, and her husband Larry,

a former Marine who recently opened a toystore in town, put their

life savings into buying a home in Charlottesville that should have

been condemned due to toxic mold. Evidently the basement (advertised

as a playroom) had been flooded and the water allowed to sit year

after year creating the perfect environment for mold growth. The

previous owner boarded up and painted over the black mold so that

even the inspector couldn & #146;t detect the lurking disaster when they

decided to purchase the house. Once discovered, it was too late.

Virginia laws are " buyer beware " .

Now they are in great need and their only recourse is to depend on

the kindness of their community.. They have lost almost everything.

All their possessions that they had moved into the house & #151;clothing,

bedding, pots & pans, dishes, furniture & #133;etc. & #151;have to be thrown out

because they now contain toxic mold spores. Bob Fenwick -Homework

Productions-was first to come to the rescue. Installed a sub slab

and block wall ventilation system that will dry out behind and

inside block walls and beneath the slab for a $1. Central Virgina

Rental , Maddux of Ferguson Maddux and Spruce Industries of

Massachusetts- helped out.Than Steve with Service Masters of

Virginia has stepped forward and voluntarily gutted house to destroy

the source of the mold-- rotten wood , putrid drywall , ceiling .

They performed this $60,000 service for free after hearing about the

catastrophe. Soon the s new home will be mold-free, but it

will also be gutted. They have run out of rent money and need to

move soon.

Can your company donate one or more of the items or services on the

following pages to help the s make their home liveable?

The s have successfully contacted media sources to publicize

the incredible act of generosity performed by ServiceMaster Clean

Steve , and would like to do the same for any business that

steps forward during this difficult time.
