Lawyer letter

Guys I’m keeping you all updated but I decided I should probably contact a lawyer. This is what I wrote just now so maybe tomorrow they’ll contact me. This lawyer fights mold because her son got sick when little. She has the heart in it. I’ve been wondering a lot about how many people are sick because of things like this - appliances - keurig, humidifier, washer machine, water and ice refrigerator, coffee maker, and any appliance that holds moisture and water.

Letter to lawyer to keep you all in the loop - also attached is a photo of how my test is turning out it’s actually a lot more than this but I don’t have the latest picture. And proper testing are being shipped to me I bought a bunch today.

My name is Schay…, and I’m writing with a heavy but hopeful heart. I believe you are the one person who might truly understand what I’ve been through—and what I’m still trying to piece together.

In October 2024, at 36 years old, I was diagnosed with Stage 1, Grade 2 clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). I had no family history, I don’t smoke, and I’ve always tried to take care of my health. My doctor told me it was probably “just bad luck.” But I couldn’t accept that—not for myself, not for my children, and not for the future of others like me.

Just two years before, in early 2022, I had a clean abdominal MRI—no sign of any kidney abnormality. A few weeks later, in May 2022, I moved into a new home. Within that short window, my health began to unravel: I experienced digestive issues, panic attacks, brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue. Then came the cancer diagnosis.

Desperate for answers, I ran a Vibrant Wellness mycotoxin panel, which showed extremely high levels of ochratoxin A (OTA)—a mycotoxin known to cause kidney damage and classified by the IARC as a Group 2B possible human carcinogen. Studies have shown OTA can cause renal tumors in animals and has even been detected in human ccRCC tumor tissue.

I began inspecting my environment. That’s when I discovered visible mold growth inside my countertop ice machine, which I had used daily for three years. It had no UV sanitation, no internal cleaning mechanism, and no consumer warnings about potential mold buildup. I had unknowingly ingested contaminated ice for years—directly exposing my kidneys to a known nephrotoxin. I have photos, videos, and culture testing underway.

I also carry MTHFR mutations, limiting my detox capacity and likely allowing ochratoxin to accumulate in my kidneys over time.

Looking back, it all clicks:

Lyme disease weakened my immune system
H. pylori and esophagitis wouldn’t heal
I had daily salivation, gut pain, and neurological symptoms
And then, at 36, kidney cancer

What I’m Asking:

I am not pursuing this for financial gain. My goal is justice, research, and awareness. I want doctors to start screening for mold toxins in patients with mystery symptoms. I want manufacturers to label appliances that harbor invisible danger. I want to see tumor studies that explore environmental triggers like ochratoxin A. And I want other families to avoid the pain mine has gone through.

But I can’t do that alone.

That’s why I’m reaching out to you—someone who not only knows the science and the law, but who carries the heart to fight for those of us who were never supposed to “get sick.”

Summary of Supporting Facts:

Stage 1, Grade 2 ccRCC diagnosis – October 2024
Clean MRI in 2022 before exposure began
Daily use of mold-contaminated ice machine (May 2022–2024)
Extremely elevated OTA levels confirmed by Vibrant Wellness
Photos, evidence, and testing of the machine available
MTHFR mutation impairing detoxification pathways
Symptom timeline aligns with known OTA toxicity
Seeking accountability, research, and public awareness

Thank you for reading my story. I don’t know what happens next, but I know this matters. I’ve carried this weight for months, and I believe with all my heart that you are the one person who might know what to do with it.
