Review for Lead Safe America Foundation, Portland, OR, USA
My daughter had a lead level that was over the level of concern for two and a half to three years of her life due to the lack of information and help we had been getting from our then pediatricians . The continued exposure was of great concern to us, but moving seemed impossible, so we tried to find someone, anyone who could help us get her lead level down and know if moving was really necessary. I was introduced to Tamara and Lead Safe America by a local lead prevention product manufacturer. Lead Safe America turned our lives around, providing the sound opinion that moving to a new house would be best, and Tamara Rubin even came to the new home we rented and tested it from top to tail for us before we moved in, pointing out the hazards and helping us remove anything toxic. This included our bath tub, which is chalking lead and needs to be re-done. We keep our daughter out of there until it will be fixed. Our child no longer has a lead level detectable by a Lead Care test, meaning its below a three at the least now. A blood draw test will be done soon to see where it is now. We owe so much to Lead Safe America and Tamara for the safety of our daughter, and have gotten the education and resources we desperately needed to get her lead level down. I feel that we would not have gotten the help we needed anywhere else, our local agencies were useless when we tried to get help from them. This organization is essential to America, helps hundreds of people like us each year. One day i would like to see it go global.
