Please help me take care of my sister. We were adapting my house for my sister who has a disability and mobility issues so I can provide care for her. However we have been defrauded by the construction company we had hired to complete the works. They have stolen 38,000 of me and my family and we have had to pay more to repair the damage they had done to the property. Please help us in any way possible. Thank you
