"They had to medivac King* to another hospital in a helicopter and hook him up to
a ventilator," Carmen Montgomery said. "That's how bad it was."
Just a few months earlier, King's mom was relieved to find affordable housing with
a backyard where her kids could play. Little did Ms. Montgomery know that after
moving in, she would have to frequently rush her one-year-old son to the ER as he
struggled to breathe. Pediatricians at the hospital knew King's asthma was likely
caused by something in their home, so they connected Ms. Montgomery to Children's
Law Center.
Please keep vulnerable children like King out of the ER by giving generously, right
away. [[link removed]]
Children's Law Center and Ms. Montgomery immediately took her landlord to court.
The judge condemned the house because the landlord failed to resolve so many housing
violations, including mold, recurring leaks and mice infestations. These conditions
were the root causes of King's severe health issues.
Children's Law Center rushed to find a new home for the Montgomery family before
the old house was declared uninhabitable. They now live in a clean, healthy home
owned by a landlord who cares about them. Today, Ms. Montgomery and King are excited
to celebrate the holiday season...and they are breathing a little easier.
Please join our fight to protect DC's children. Your generosity will help children

secure the safe housing they need to live healthy lives.
