It is amazing how much weight this one little word can hold. When this word is violated the result is dramatic. That in itself is where we as victims are left. Our trust has been destroyed.

What David has done reaches out to aspects of people's lives far greater than a kitchen or a bathroom. The colossal web of destruction will aftershock all of us for years to come.

Some of us have taken out loans, some of us have spent years of savings, some of us have scraped up just enough money to make our home "beautiful and breathtaking" as David promised us. This money was money intended for our children's futures, our mortgage, our elderly parents, our special needs children, the life and survival of the family business in the hard economic times, but most importantly the security of our families.

David has entered into our most personal and sacred space, our homes and created chaos and pandemonium. He has left our spaces in disarray and our bank accounts empty. This leaves all of us in hysteria and truly concerned over where to go from here. We no longer trust contractors/subcontractors or salesman. And even with their assurance, we are reluctant to trust these professionals. Because of this we spend our time on DIY projects that are below our standards yet we know we can count on ourselves to complete the project. Contractors and subcontractors now suffer because our now extreme cautious behavior warns others from having any work done in their homes for fear they too could end as we have. The web continues to grow leaving subcontractors without work and thus their families suffer. We can no longer afford the summer vacation we had planned, the new accessories for our home, the gift for our child or spouse, or the remodel of our kitchen or bath. All of this is because of David Freeman.


We will all overcome this one day however, the damage that has been created because of this man is detrimental.
