We have been advised to start looking for new housing immediately.
So that is what we are doing. If you all could be praying for us:
- to find a house to rent in our price range
- to be able to get out of our current lease
- for our health
- help packing and moving
Details:
The mold is in our back room under the window. So thankfully we don't spend too much time there. However, that is where my sewing machine is, right next to the window. Every time I would sew I would start to feel just gross, maybe get a headache but sometimes just really tired. If I spent a really long time in there I felt a little congested.
We knew the house had a history of pipes leaking and water damage, so we wondered about mold even though we didn't see anything. We called a mold guy and he tested the moisture content of that wall. It was off of the scales! After some convincing, our landlord hired him to test a few samples. Our lease is up at the end of June, and we debated waiting until then since its only a few months. I'm so glad we didn't!
After hearing the news today, we felt a strange peace. We know now what we need to do, and are trusting that the Lord will provide a place to live.

oh, nuts, Kellie! I'm so glad though that you were able to find it and be hopefully moved out fairly quickly. We'll be praying for God's perfect provision for you guys. Love you!
Hi Kelly! Hope that you and your family can find a new place to live. It’s kinda scary to think that you have some harmful fungi
around the house. If you are still waiting for your lease to expire, practice preventive measures like making sure that the mold infested area is contained, and quickly fix all the leaking pipes to prevent the fungi from spreading around the house. And when you find a new house, make sure that all the pipes and drainage ways are sealed. Make your new place squeaky clean to avoid mold formation.
