Hello, 

I am so sorry to ask anyone for help but my life is in ruins and I have nowhere to turn or go.

It all started June 22nd, 2023 when half of my house started on fire, it wad an electrical fire  under the house. We lived in a hotel for 2 months.

August of 2023 We moved into a rental property. It’s is a beautiful home but not put together properly. Counters aren’t sealed. Problems with electric being shut off, water, gas leak, and the stove didn’t work for 2 1/2 weeks until they fixed it.

Auust 2023 because they didn’t have a landscaper I fell over a branch and broke 3 ribs. Inside the house the floors were so slippery they were dangerous.

My insurance company is fighting me on my clothes, content list, and money spent to eat, which they were supposed to cover. My homeowner insurance. 

February 16th at 5 in the morning I got up to use the bathroom. I had socks on. I went back to bed and slipped. I went into their solid wooden doors on a track with out bottom tracks. One door I hit and the other went backwards, swung and threw me to the floor breaking my femur and hip. I had emergency surgery. I now have a titanium femur and hip. My surgery was close to 100,000

I couldn’t work for 5 months and tandem couldn’t get it corrected so for all those months I didn’t receive a dime.

Meanwhile, my first contractor lied to me and took my first check from my  insurance company. He took 25,000 but did 2,000 in work. I had to come up with that deficit.

The insurance company  wouldn’t cover my siding in full they wanted to rig it. They couldn’t match it and it was discontinued. I had to come up with the money for the siding, while I wasn’t working.

Its me a single mom, with 2 boys and a dog to take care of.

I still walk with a cane and have to have another surgery on my Femur on September 17th. 

Meanwhile, my ALE money, that’s what the insurance pays for you to live while your house is being repaired. It  ran out. I wasn’t aware. The landlord told me to get out. My contractor told me he was handling it. That  fell through, and I  got an eviction notice and he is suing me for 10,300. I have court on September 5th. 

We have  nowhere to go, and lost everything. I am fighting my insurance company. We cannot go home. We don’t have appliances hooked up. There aren’t even any cabinets , The bathrooms are not even finished. The house has nothing in it, so I can’t stay there at all. I have my dog and he needs to stay with me. 

I am worried about being sued even though I fell in their house. He didn’t  try to work with me at all.  I hadn’t  worked in 5 months.  

I need money to rent something for 1 month. I have to be out of here by September 4th. I gave my life savings to this contractor. I am scared.  Where will we go? I started working again with a cane. It’s been difficult and I am barely making money. We don’t even have beds. The people who take your stuff to clean then said my insurance company will replace them, but they are asking for pictures my old contractor took that he mysteriously lost.  The whole thing has been a problem from the start. 

I am uncomfortable, and embarrassed about having to do this Gofund me. We will be homeless, and I lost everything. If you can help us get back on our feet I would appreciate any amount and be eternally grateful.

It was easier asking for the dog, but our life and future depend on it. Any help would be appreciated . If you can’t help I understand. If you can you have no idea how much it will mean to me and my family. I have a home and I am homeless and they took every dime I had, and without working, school alone cost 1000 to enroll. They worry is making me sick.

Thank you for reading my story. I hope you can send good vibes that we can raise enough to rent something  until my home is done, and money at least to buy our beds. I wouldn’t mind some well wishes for my surgery even if you cannot help, and hope this contractor gets my house done. I think 1 month should do it, but I can’t stay here.

I don’t even have groceries. Thank you again for reading my personal stuff. I am ashamed but have no where else to turn. 

Thank you again!

Sincerely ,

Julie Mazzocchi
