Plastic, chemical pollution plaguing Texas waterways; Freeport plant ranks high for bad wastewater pollution1 hour agoMake household chores easier and more with these Insider Deals– In June 2023, Jerene Buckles paid nearly $35,000 as a deposit for a home she believed would replace the one her family lost in a devastating fire.Buckles, a mother of nine children—several of whom are disabled—says the fire that destroyed her home left her family devastated.
Originally, the build was scheduled for June 2023, but the timeline was pushed back multiple times, first to October 2023, then again to January 2024. As the delays stretched on, Buckles requested a refund. Her temporary housing assistance, provided by insurance, was running out, and she was left with no option but to demand her money back.
As of now, nearly a year later, Buckles has not received a single penny of her refund. The lack of resolution is frustrating, particularly as the family nears another Thanksgiving with no new home and no refund. Jalene has filed a police report in hopes of recovering her money and is considering legal action. However, she says she cannot afford the fees associated with filing a lawsuit without the refund she is owed.
