Melba George

My name is Melba George and I was stationed at George AFB from 1989-1991 and worked in the 35th Supply Squadron. I was pregnant and had my daughter there in 1990. I lived in the dorms until I gave birth to my daughter and then lived in base housing at 144 Oregon until I relocated to another base. I was heated and cooled by a swamp cooler. I used the water to make my daughter’s formula, Kool-Aid, and popsicles, prepared food, bathed, and even played in the water on hot days. My daughter suffers from migraines, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibromyalgia, nerve damage, skin rashes, and unexplained health conditions and the doctors say she has the body of an 80-year-old woman at the age of 20.

I have ovarian cysts and cysts on various organs throughout my body which causes pain. I have migraines, and rheumatoid arthritis and suffer from joint pain. I also have a rash that comes and goes on my torso. I have been compensated for my health conditions, but I would like for my daughter to get compensated for her health conditions and health care. She has been out a lot of money because of her health. I was never told of the toxic water.

I am not a doctor, Veterans Service Officer (VSO), or attorney; therefore, I cannot provide medical or legal advice.
