Bad Deal

So there's a woman on Isabelle Place who has a Wheelchair Lift and Stair lift that she had installed in her home 7-8 years ago. Instead of selling it to you (me) she asks for work to be done in the house and yard in exchange for the accessible items. Because my son is severely disabled and I am struggling financially I pull him backwards up my deck steps to get him into the house because I already hired someone to build a ramp and they took the money and ran. SO.... I really needed this equipment (mostly just the lift because he doesn't need to go downstairs and our home is mostly accessible inside) I did write up a contract with her and I worked for 2 weeks doing everything she asked. Each day she added a new task and then one day I went to do a clean up of the completed work and the door was locked and she didn't answer. She didn't answer her phone or her messages on text. She had no complaints about the work I did and I did a great job! She did mention that her sister didn't think it was a good idea in or around the second last day I was there. So now she's refusing to reciprocate or stick with our deal and I am so heartbroken and exasperated that someone would do this...... It's been a week since the last day I was there and I've now sent her a bill for the hours in lieu of receiving the lift. What JUST occurred to me is that I am not the only person she has done this too and has done it before and will continue to do it. So I wanted to warn people who are in need. DO NOT do anything for this woman her name starts with "D" (not sure if spotted lets you put a name) and she lives on Isabelle Place. She comes across as sweet and christian and believable, but she is nothing but a user (loser). Actually I'm the loser for trusting her.
