Crooked Contractor Left Family Homeless

After a near-death experience due to a ruptured appendix in 2017, Ms. Phillips decided to fulfill her lifelong dream of purchasing a home. In October 2018, she accomplished this and after the purchase she hired a  Contractor Jose aka Michael Alvarado, to add an extension to the home (It was a small home built in 1951, still with the original kitchen and bathroom). After paying Mr. Alvarado $238,000 (her life's savings) and 72k above the original negotiated renovation cost, Ms. Phillips was left with a shell of a house that’s incomplete and in disastrous condition. The contractor refuses to return any money and will not complete the job. Ms. Phillips filed a criminal complaint with the Nassau DA Office, which has been referred to the DCA.

We are asking the public for help so that Ms. Phillips who is a School Psychologist and her daughter can complete their home. This renovation was started in October 2018. They have gone through every penny they have and deserve the public’s assistance in righting this wrong.

Ms. Phillips spent her life educating and counseling America’s children as well as assisting a safe school charity, Alert Inc. in her spare time.

Ms. Phillips is at a tremendous loss and is out of options. We would appreciate any assistance you may have in helping this family. We are seeking 50k to at least make their home habitable, i.e. kitchen, bathroom, heating and electric.
