Help give Helen her Tiny House back

Helen invested her savings, over $33,000,with a company that turned out to be operated by a serial, convicted fraudster. She now has no savings and no house.

In January of this year Helen signed a contract with Duro to fulfil a dream of owning a tiny house. It was supposed to arrive on 31 March but instead all of her money is gone, as is her dream of home ownership.

Based in South Auckland, Helen is a passionate and gifted early childhood educator. After spending the past 8 years at Pukekohe High School Childcare Centre, in January of this year she started working on another dream of hers, her own business, as an early childhood education consultant.

With Auckland's housing crisis, tiny houses are one way that people can get on the property ladder and have their own space to call their own. That this man has taken this away from so many people and from Helen is despicable.

With her savings gone and a new business this must be a very stressful time for Helen. As a hard worker, someone who chases her dreams and also as someone who gives so generously to others and is filled with kindness and love, it is heartbreaking that she is in this situation.
