Help Restore My Home: Fix Black mould on All External Walls for a Healthier, Safer Space!

$80 of $25,000 goal
Given by 4 generous donors in around 6 months

Help our family fix black mold in our home, improving health and safety for only son with severe respiratory conditions.

Southland

Hi, I've lived in my home for 15 years, and during this time, my family has battled black mould . My eldest son has asthma, and my youngest, born with a heart condition, has struggled with severe respiratory issues. Despite multiple trips to Starship Children's Hospital, countless treatments, and a recent diagnosis of Tracheomalacia, Tracheobronchomalacia and allergies, his health remains fragile.

We've qualified for the Healthy Homes grant and tried everything—insulation, double glazing, and natural remedies—but nothing has solved the mould problem. Electrical work recently revealed that our walls lack any building paper and insulation. A year ago, I had back surgery, making it impossible to maintain the walls any longer. We're at a breaking point and need your help to fix this once and for all.

Your support would mean the world to us.

Michelle Carroll's involvement (page creator)

We as a family are the beneficiaries with my son as the main reason to support his health.

Use of funds

The money will go towards relining all exterior walls including Building materials, Insulation, gib stopping, paint and wallpaper, labour charges. If we are unable to meet the target the bedrooms will take priority beginning with the worst affected room.

Goal increase   18 September 2024

Dear Supporters,

After carefully reviewing the full scope of our project, we’ve realised there are additional costs we hadn’t anticipated. As a result, we’ve increased our fundraising goal from $15,000 to $25,000. Every dollar raised will go directly toward creating a safe, healthy home environment, one that supports the physical well-being of my family—especially for my son, whose respiratory conditions make this an urgent need.

Your generosity has already touched our hearts, and with this increased goal, we humbly ask for your continued support. Together, we can ensure that our home becomes a sanctuary of health and healing, free from the mold that has plagued us for so long. Thank you for standing by us through this journey. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to restoring our home and our health.

Kind regards

The Carroll Family
