Help Us Recover from a Renovation Scam

Hello, my name is Thomas, and I live in Nova Scotia with my family of four kids. Last summer, we took a big step and bought a home that we fell in love with. It was a dream come true for us—a place where we could build memories, put down roots, and create a safe, loving environment for our children.

This summer, we decided it was time to make some much-needed renovations to the house, both inside and out. We were excited to make it our own and create a comfortable space for the kids to grow up in. After searching for a renovation company, we found one that seemed trustworthy. They asked for a $4,000 deposit for supplies, and we paid it, thinking this was the first step toward transforming our new house into our dream home.

However, after two months of delays and excuses, it became clear that something was wrong. They kept pushing the job further and further back, and finally, they stopped responding altogether. I tried to get in touch, but both of their contact numbers were disconnected. They vanished without a trace, along with the $4,000 deposit we had saved up for these renovations.

As a father who works full-time to support my family, losing that money has been a devastating blow. The $4,000 may not seem like a lot to some, but for us, it was a significant amount—our savings meant to make our home safe and comfortable. Now, we’re left with a house that needs repairs and no funds to make it happen.

I have never been the type to ask for help, but this situation has left me with no choice. It’s been incredibly difficult for me to come to terms with asking for support, but I need to do this for my family. We are reaching out to you, our community, and kind-hearted strangers who may be able to lend a hand during this tough time.

If you can find it in your heart to help us recover from this loss, any amount you contribute will go directly towards making the repairs our home needs. Your generosity would mean the world to us and would help us get back on our feet.

Thank you for considering our situation. Even if you can't donate, sharing this campaign with your friends and family would be an incredible help.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support and kindness.

Please donate or share today to help us rebuild and provide a safe home for our children. Every little bit helps, and we are deeply grateful for any support you can provide.
