Review for Lead Safe America Foundation, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am writing this review because I have worked with and seen Tamara in action, putting a documentary film together, extending her hand to families and complete strangers to provide them with information and more importantly take safe actions to reduce lead and make homes and neighborhoods safer for children. Read the other reviews and you will gain an understanding about Tamara as a tour de force for improving the world for children. She does this with a song and a prayer and a few donations. It is shameful that U.S. children do not have a government that is helpful in providing resources needed to prevent exposure to the lead dust that the same government allowed to accumulate in the environment. Children are paying the price with their brain development and long term health. But we do have Tamara and Lead Safe America and they need commitment of ongoing donations to continue with their helping hands and support for the children of the nation.

For full disclosure I am a member of the Board of the Lead Safe America Foundation. I am also on the faculty of the Tulane University School of Medicine and I have been an active participant in lead research since the mid-1970's. I urge you to join me in giving recurring donations to Lead Safe America Foundation, non-profit. It is important. If a large number of people would give just a few dollars a month, Tamara could continue, uninterrupted, with her lead prevention mission for children.
