cancer deaths from FEMA trailers?
My dad recently died from lung cancer after living in a FEMA camper for two years. He had just moved into his rebuilt home just four weeks before he died. My brother's wife died two months after dad; and, died from lung cancer as well. She had lived in a FEMA camper as well for two years. The day she died, FEMA was suppose to be delivering them a cottage. My daughter and her family had been delivered a camper, but could never live in it because the fumes were so bad, they burned our eyes and nose and made your skin hurt/itch when you walked into it. FEMA just told her to keep the windows open so it would air out. We kept the windows open in it for 6 months, but it was never habitable.
