Word of caution concerning non-profits

[Guest guest]

For those of you who have experienced mold exposure recently or over

the years are fully aware of the effects it has had on you, and your

family, know how life altering this has been.

We all have spent many hours searching for physicians and treatments

to the point of financial ruin. The sick and injuried (the true

victims) do not need to be vicitimized again by organizations that

claim they want to or can help.

There are many nonprofits out there concerning this issue that are

doing an excellant job, but like in any industry, we also have our

fly by nighters (scammers/conartists) that are in this just for the

glory but mainly the money. You know the type, get rich quick scam.

If you are seriouslly thinking of joining, donating,etc., PLEASE,

PLEASE look into their track record and their nonprofit status. Make

sure everything is legit, registered, etc. Ask many questions

concerning their organization and they should not hesitate (if they

are legit) to provide you with this information. Know where the

funds are going and I believe by law the books of a nonprofit

organization should be open to the public. (I'm sure someone will

correct me if this is incorrect.)

Ask for references, board members, trustees. Ask people you trust

that have been dealing with this issue a while if they have heard of

them, what their opinions are, etc.

If anyone else has any other suggestions to protect the sick and

injured, please speak up. I don't know all the facts concerning

nonprofits.

WE DON'T NEED TO BE A VICTIMIZED TWICE.
