Christy Cochran was a vibrant teenager: a figure skater, ultimate frisbee athlete, entrepreneur, and college-bound student with a bright future. But at just 17, everything changed. Seemingly out of nowhere, Christy began experiencing extreme fatigue, brain fog, and terrifying episodes of near collapse. Doctors were baffled, and for years, she battled a mysterious illness that stole her active lifestyle.
Years later, after a miraculous remission and newfound hope, Christy married the love of her life, Thomas. But as they settled into a new home, their nightmare returned, this time, worse than ever. Christy became bedridden, struggling with severe POTS symptoms, relentless fatigue, constant infections, and new diagnoses like Crohn’s disease. Even Thomas, once healthy, fell victim to chronic illness.
Then came a critical clue: moving out of their basement apartment for a brief holiday visit, Christy and Thomas felt dramatically better. Returning home brought symptoms flooding back. This sparked suspicion of hidden mold. But standard air tests often fail to detect the mold that hides behind walls — the mold that can destroy lives.
That’s where Mold Dog Network and their hero, Meeka the mold-sniffing dog, came in. During the inspection, Meeka hit on multiple locations despite the house appearing clean to the eye. Behind the walls, colonies of toxic mold were discovered — the invisible enemy slowly poisoning Christy’s body.
The Mold Dog team is now helping Christy and Thomas find a new, safe home while planning a complete detox and recovery journey. Their story isn’t just about mold, it’s about hope, science, and the power of community coming together to help one woman reclaim her life.
