The Tardiff Family is in urgent need of support.  After almost a year of difficult and debilitating health issues, the father has lost his job.  Recently the family discovered through professional inspectors the presence of harmful and dangerous mold in the attic and crawl spaces that needs to be remediated immediately.  It is hopeful that removing this and installing proper ventilation in those areas will help the overall safety of the home, however the family faces financial difficulty with these repairs and the possibility of relocation for the health of the entire family.  It is incredibly difficult for them to imagine this situation when the father is without work and trying to regain his health.  Financial help for the father to continue treatments for his health and for their housing and living needs during this challenging time is greatly appreciated! 

May good St. Joseph come to their aid and if you are inspired to assist them, may God reward you abundantly!

***UPDATE:  November 6th*** 

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has donated, prayed for, and helped spread the word for this fundraiser!  The Tardiffs are incredibly grateful for your support to help them through this challenging time.

The past two weeks brought some hope in diagnosing more in depth the problems in the home in order that they can be remediated, but this always presents a challenge while the family is living in the home as the process of removing the mold can make the spores more airborne and aggravate symptoms.  Therefore, the family is seriously looking into possibilities for relocating at least temporarily while repairs are being completed.

In speaking to Agatha, she was able to give me a breakdown of current costs as they are estimated at this time:

Initial cleanup of mold in attic and crawl spaces:  $2,200

Repair costs of attic ventilation system:  $2,000

In-depth test from Kesterclear mold removal company:  $2,100

Mold removal and remediation throughout the house:  $20,500 +

Floor, wall, and tile renovations in bathrooms and basement:  $10,000 +

Treatments for John and the family's health:  $5,000 +

Living expenses and mortgage payments/temporary relocation: $10,000

In addition, there may be unforeseen costs in the renovation process or with health treatments, but we've estimated as we're able for the moment.  Thus you can see that all support is so greatly appreciated by the family.  

Thank you again so much, and be assured of prayer and gratitude for your kindness towards the Tardiff Family!

In Jesus and Mary,
