Six-year-old Calina Wesley fell seriously ill while living in her former home at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. Calina’s mother, Melissa Wesley, has come forward with horrifying stories of the housing conditions she and her family endured while in Texas.Wesley believes that the excessive amount of toxins present in their home caused her daughter’s mysterious illness. The house they lived in was filled with asbestos, mushy walls, and black mold.
By the time they moved to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Calina was very sick and suffering more than 100 seizures a day, during which her brain could not receive oxygen. She has the mental capacity of a child half her age and can no longer recite the alphabet.
Asbestos exposure has been linked to various forms of cancer, including mesothelioma.
The Wesleys hope that releasing their story will encourage others in the neighborhood to do so as well. Raising awareness may get parents to remove their children from dangerous environments before they suffer as Calina has.
