Toxic mold has moved the Fabry family to Arizona. Their family’s health began to deteriorate in 2007 when mold was discovered in their Colorado home. They cut into their bathroom wall, accidentally releasing toxic spores which began a series of health problems. To make matters worse, remediators used fans on the mold, spreading the spores throughout the home.

Taking the advice of a mold specialist, Chris & Andrea Fabry moved to Arizona in hopes their family could recover better in a warm and dry environment.
