Yes, Karaann07,

I did document the requests, I even have the apartment
complex's copy of my request and the worker did document my
statement about my child's asthma issues and migraines.

Since I posted this request for help on this forum, I had to
take my children to the doctor who requested that my apartment
management relocate me. I provided samples and pictures of
the mold to our doctor.

The apartment management came and pulled out the air ducts and
replaced them after the photos and doctor's mandate.
Unfortunately, the damage has already been done. I would like
to learn if you are an attorney and if you can help me with my
case.

Thank you.
