I heard about one of America’s worst nuclear disasters, the Santa Susana Field Lab, only after my daughter Grace was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of Leukemia. It destroyed me when I realized that Grace’s cancer might have been avoided if we had known. Why didn’t anyone warn us? Didn’t anyone care enough to tell us that radioactive waste was buried only five miles away from our home? I wish more than anything that someone, anyone, would have warned us. That’s why I’ve launched a fundraiser to start an awareness campaign and warn our community. You can donate here: https://bit.ly/2xSsLcf. The Department of Toxic Substance Control was quiet about the site, even though their job is to protect communities from environmental hazards. They’ve tried to cover up the danger and because of that residents haven’t fought for the site’s cleanup...because so many people don’t even know the site exists. The burden has rested on the parents of kids with cancer to get the truth out, but many of us still have children in cancer treatment. We don’t have the time or the financial resources for such a critically important job. Our neighbors deserve to know, but we need help to make that happen. That’s why we’ve started a fundraiser, to inform and warn our community. There are nearly 500,000 people living within ten miles of the site, so we need big methods like a billboard, an ad in the Los Angeles Times, and more. We need to make sure that our community knows and they know how to fight back for a clean and safe environment. Because no child deserves cancer, just because no one wanted to talk about it.
