My family is from East Palestine Ohio. I am currently stuck in this superfund site and am absolutely terrified. A train derailed in my hometown on February 3, 2023 spilling thousands of gallons of toxic materials. It’s killing fish and animals; polluting our air, water, and soil. I have five sons who’s lives could be negatively affected by this catastrophic event. As close as I hold East Palestine to my heart I don’t feel that it is safe to raise my children here anymore. Help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATES

For five months I have been robbed of my life. At this point idk what we are going to do. We can’t even go into town for short durations to visit family without having symptoms of chemical exposure. I wish I could go back to February 2 before this tragic event occurred back in the past when I actually felt like a normal human being. At this point I feel that there has been grave injustices done bestowed upon the residents of East Palestine and we are victims of the United States of Corporations and their greed.

I never could have imagined on February 3, 2023 that June 20, 2023 would come and I would still not be able to live in my home or use anything that I once owned. It is all destroyed. No matter what I do I cannot get the wicked poisonous smells out of my children’s and also my belongings. My entire life as I knew it has been taken from me. Idk what I am going to do next. My time is running out and my biggest fear is that my children and I will be left homeless and fore-shaken by this multi billion dollar corporation. The scary reality is staring at me in the face as I sit here like a fool trying to have trust in Norfolk southern will make it right like Allen Shaw CEO haa stated from the jump of this that is exactly what he company would do to make their wrong right. Any help woild be greatly appreciated any money donated is being used to provide my children with a safe loving nurturing environment. Please keep us in your minds and more importantly your prayers.


Hey just wanted to let everyone know that my family and I have gotten out of East Palestine safely and have relocated to Niles Ohio for the next 8 weeks. We don’t know what we will do when this time is up but we are taking things day to day. Thank you is woefully inadequate for all the generosity you have shown to me. I will be forever grateful and thankful.
Thank you and thank you and thank you again. In the process of making arrangements to relocate. My children and I have been having some severe symptoms since being home. These symptoms are burning of the skin, eyes, and throat. I have had to take my kids to the pediatrician and just got back from rushing my two year old to Akrons Childrens Hospital. We was given a steroid for stridor and throat inflammation. This is getting scary by the minute thanks to all of you who have helped me and my family.

Update #1 Thanks to all who have blessed my family We appreciate it more than you will ever know. As of right know we are still sheltering in place. The smell is terrible and had to bring my youngest sons to the pediatrician today due to a red rash that appeared about 48 hours after we returned home and has gotten worst. Once again God Bless all of you, and I will continue to provide updates. Thanks is woefully inadequate, but I will say it again thanks from the bottom of my heart.
