A Broken Promise, A Vanishing Home—Help Me Rebuild.
My Story: A Decade of Dreams and Setbacks
For nine years, I poured my heart and $150,000 into a piece of land that was meant to be my sanctuary. Entrusting Connect Homes with a $360,000 construction loan, I believed my dream home was within reach. However, after the unexpected close of the company (read more here), we’re without a house and facing a $500,000 debt — the construction loan is due. With rising construction costs due to LA wildfires, I’ll need up to $450,000 to rebuild what was lost. This is my plea for help to save my land and future.
The Reality of My Loss
– Builder went bankrupt before my home was built.
– Facing a $500,000 loan due, with no house to show for it.
– Rising costs due to natural disasters have compounded my financial strain.
– SF Chronicle: “A heartbreaking tale of trust and financial ruin.“
Your donations are vital in helping me rebuild my life and secure my future.
