My Nonprofit Reviews

I got in contact with Tamara and Lead Safe America years ago when I was looking for resources for my lead poisoned son. She helped us from far away, giving us ideas and resources for years as we struggled to manage the lead hazard in our home. Our second child was born and grew to be a toddler as we renovated, applied for grants and were turned down, and tried to create safe zones in our house and remediate lead with our low income and high-stress life. When our third child tested high for lead, I knew we had failed. Every step we had taken just wasn't enough. It was then that Tamara saw my distress and offered to fly out to inspect our home, toys, dishes, and more for lead content, build a plan with us, help us raise funds, and help us on a very practical note. We appealed to friends to cover her costs, and she flew across the country to come give us the best, most practical, most evidenced-based advice in terms of how to proceed. I cannot thank Tamara and LSAF enough for the encouragement over the years, and for the visit during which she gave us specific knowledge and strategies. She is on the front lines, helping people prevent lead poisoning and helping families who have been harmed by lead.
