You are not alone.

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.”

— Emily Rachal
