My Name Is Jessica Monzon, And I Am A Mother Of Two Fighting An Invisible Nightmare On Johnston St. We Live In An Older Apartment In Los Angeles, And Two Weeks Ago, A Hidden Pipe Leak Behind The Bathroom Drywall Was Discovered. By The Time It Was Visible, Toxic Black Mold Had Already Spread Through The Walls, Directly Into My 6-year-old Son’s Bedroom. He Has Severe Asthma, And Within Days, He Ended Up In The Emergency Room With Acute Respiratory Distress. 

Our Landlord Is Shifting The Blame, And Our Renter's Insurance Denied The Immediate Remediation Claim Under A ‘gradual Damage Exclusion.’ My House Is Now A Biohazard, And We’ve Been Forced To Stay In A Small Motel That Is Draining My Paycheck. The Cost For Professional Mold Abatement And Rebuilding The Drywall Is $9,200. 

I Work Full-time, But I Don't Have $9k Sitting In The Bank. I’m Swallowing My Pride To Ask My Community For A ‘hand Up’. I Just Want To Make Our Home Safe So I Can Bring My Son Back To An Environment Where He Can Breathe Cleanly. Any Donation, Or Even Sharing This Link, Is A Miracle For My Kids. Thank You.
