Hole In Woman's Roof Repaired After FOX23 Investigation

Habitat for Hope is NOT a non-profit organization, but their new name is an example of how they pull saps, like me, into their office. This business has operated under several different names, and Fox 23 isn't the first television station to investigate these people. They took a $1500 deposit from me, and later when I asked for my deposit back, (for good reason) the owner told me "It isn't happening." He lost his temper and told me it was escrow and I had no right to a refund. Then he hung up on me. What's even more humiliating is the woman who was helping me, Lynn(sp?) gave me the keys to the home so I could look at it inside. Immediately, she changed her mind, took back the keys and said there were items still in the garage that they wanted to get rid of before I saw the house. Do not be so quick to judge others as there is much more to my story, but what it comes down to is they take advantage of people who have lost their home through foreclosure or bankruptcy. Desperate people wanting to own a home will do just about anything, and in these hard times, they want to believe that people are basically good and caring. They still have my $1500 and refuse to refund my money. They are scam artists and swindlers, and I hope my message helps other people to stay away from Habitat for Hope and all the other names they've used in past years. Good luck to those who still have hope of owning their own home.

habitat for hope is not a non profit organization. thats habitat for humanity your thinking of. I filled out an application for habitat for hope. I looked at several houses and very few of them were livable. I even looked at one at 5th and peoria had had a sign on the front door that said it had been condemned by the city.

Pitiful how you guys would rather sit up on your high stools and critique whether or not you think this grandmother and four children "deserve" the help rather than seeing a need and meeting it. Yall some sad folks and I feel bad for the day when you are in need....because there WILL be a time when you will be. Leave this lady and innocent children alone. Get a life and a heart.

Wait a minute. Isn't "Habitat for Hope" a NON PROFIT organization? So these people are taking housing assistance then COMPLAINING ABOUT IT? And then Fox23 get's on them? WOW. Now THIS is something else.

Really Ismith62?? You are ignorant lol. Facebook and email accounts are free.....duh. How do you know she isnt using friends internet or even an unsecured network. People are soooo busy passing stupid and ignorant misjudgements on others. Let you be the one who has no money and see who talks about you and your situation. The seeds you plant you will reap. The words you speak will also come back to you. Bless this woman and glad her and the children are safe.

how do you know she's not using her cellphone to access facebook? Internet doesn't cost as much as a new roof!
