Matt Kelly, the Mold Man, shares how to pay for mold testing and remediation when money is tight. He describes his own financial loss, then walks through options: asking family, church help, GoFundMe, upcoming small scholarships, or loans. Mold illness carries a heavy emotional and financial cost.
Someone asked a question here that I hear quite often, and I understand why. And the question is about what do you do when you can't afford to pay for these expensive labs or remediation or, you know, even testing. Proper testing can cost a lot of money. So what do you do when you're financially stuck? And unfortunately, it is one of those mold toxicity affects everything so much. It's not just your body, but when it's your body, it's expensive labs. When it's your home, it's expensive inspections and expensive remediation. And it just crushes people financially. It did us. We had to sell our farm to start getting out of debt. I borrowed hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars and the journey cost us. I stopped counting. At a million dollars, it can be crushing financially, emotionally, obviously, physically, it's awful. And when you're having to deal with a horrible condition like mold illness and a sick home and you don't have the finances, it just adds even more stress to a big issue. So some of the options that people have is to you approach family and friends, you explain the situation. Hopefully they're not those family and friends that think you're crazy, insane, it's all in your head. But if you have a good support system, number one is approaching family and friends. Number two, if you have a good church family behind you and you make that need known, sometimes people are able to get financial help there. Number three is GoFundMe. I've seen people do fundraisers successfully and raise funds so that they can get the testing and treatment and things that they need. Number four is, oh, I know, I know of an organization. It's. I've already talked to them. It's not out yet, but they are going to be offering small scholarships to people who have the need. Now, when I get more details, I will do a video about it, but right now I can't. I can't say who, but it's in the works and I'm excited about that. The last thing is financing. I mean, nobody wants to borrow money to pay for these things and get into bigger trouble. But it is an option. Some people do. I even contacted a company recently to see what's involved in setting up financing for people that are trying to get their tests done and get what they need that way. It's not a road anyone wants to go down. But some people are willing to do it because they know in order to heal, they need to know what's wrong and get those good labs done. So I'm not set up for that yet, but when it is, it'll be available on pharmacy.com but hopefully, you know, option one, two or three, family and friends, church or fundraiser can be of help to some people and they're able to get what they need. It's an awful situation, start to finish in every way I know it. But those are the some of the, some of the ideas I see that people are using in order to pay for this horrible journey we call mold illness.
