Malachi’s Story
Our Mission…
Malachi’s Message is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness, driving transformative change, and providing financial assistance, as well as emotional support and education to individuals and communities affected by toxic mold exposure.
Our Vision…
“Malachi’s Message envisions a world where awareness leads to prevention, advocacy drives systemic change, and compassion fosters healing and resilience. Our vision is a society where no one suffers alone, where justice and support are accessible to all, and where the devastating impact of mold is mitigated through education, empowerment, and collective action.”
Malachi’s Story.
This painful to watch tribute and warning was created after the passing of Malachi Rachal, Emily and Josh Rachal’s second child, as a result of exposure to Fusarium mold. This video is preserved in its original formatting posted to Josh’s YouTube channel six years ago. Their story has evolved considerably, and we encourage anyone watching this video to read more about their story on our Founder’s Page.
Why the name Malachi’s Message?
The foundation is named after one of the founder’s sons who passed from a terminal birth defect due to his mother’s toxic mold exposure.
The biblical meaning of the name Malachi is, “our angel and our messenger”.
“We chose the name Malachi to honor him as well as we saw it fitting because we hope this foundation can be the angel of assistance for the people our foundation serves as well as a message of hope that they are not alone and that they will recover, while also spreading awareness on how mold can devastate a person’s health and wealth.”
