A total of 51 plaintiffs across 15 families who lived at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) filed a lawsuit in Pierce County this week, citing negligence on the part of the company that runs housing on the base after toxic mold was discovered in several units.
Melissa Godoy who lived in the base’s housing with her family for a decade described how her family experienced frequent lung, sinus, and ear infections, as well as skin rashes.
“It was month after month of constant antibiotics, and the doctors had no idea what was wrong with us,” she told KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross. “Pretty soon, they stop treating us because we’d cycled through every kind of antibiotic there is and the infections weren’t going away it was a nightmare.”

Last April, Kate Needham s one-year-old son Robbie pushed through a screen and plunged from a second story window in the family s rental home near Naval Base San Diego.

Robbie landed head first on the ground, suffering a life-threatening head injury that required a $30,000 hospital stay. On a warm day, Needham and her Navy-enlisted husband had cracked open a window in the home that they, as do thousands of American military families, rent from a privatized U.S. military housing operator. With one light press on the screen, she said, the toddler fell through.
Soon after, Needham said, employees of military housing landlord Lincoln Military Housing visited to take photos and asked her to reenact the circumstances of the fall. During a phone call Lincoln employees recorded with her, Needham said, she felt pressure to take the blame for Robbie s injury, and she promised not to sue the company.
