Alert | I just wanted to thank H&N for stepping up and taking care of this situation. Here is what happened to the best of my knowledge. Hector with Machados called my husband and told him he wanted to help us raise money for Reiley's Medical Fund. We met with Hector on April 14th. He said that he was going to sell raffle tickets at the salsa festival for $20.00 a ticket. All he needed to sell was 130 to cover his costs for the $6,000 package he was going to raffle off and the rest would go to her fund. We thought it was a HUGE task. We (John and I) were worried that he would not sell enough tickets and what happened if it came to that. He said he thought he would sell enough.
Turns out he only sold 10 tickets. I posted on this forum, another forum, craigslist and another forum about the raffle, trying to help in selling the tickets. Any tickets sold past the 130 was supposed to be donated to her fund by him. So after many attempts at trying to contact him, finally a friend contacted him and then he contacted my husband June 13th, the day before the raffle was to be held.
We didn't want him to be that much out of pocket, a lot of people offered it was a tax write off, etc, but we left it up to him what he wanted to do. It was nice of him to offer to do this for Reiley and it just didn't work out. He hopefully is RETURNING the monies to the people who bought raffle tickets. If you did buy a raffle ticket, I ask that you email me with your ticket number and that you call Hector to get your money back. If you do not hear from Hector by the end of this week, I would like to know as well, Hector's number is 520.709.1847, apparently from one of my friends, the business number is disconnected, I can not confirm or deny this.
I know that Tim Hassert H&N and Tony Tellez discussed what happened and then came to me asking if they could help at the golf tournament. H&N did not need to do this. It is very kind and amazing of them!!!
So someone will get a landscape package, I need to email him the details of what Machados had planned on offering and hopefully the people who bought the 10 tickets which I believe was only about 6 people will get their money back from Hector and one of them will win a very nice package.
Again, PLEASE PM me if you bought a ticket, other than the people I already have received a message from on our other forum and please call Hector to see about getting your money back. IF again you have not heard from Hector by Friday, please PM me and let me know.
Thank you!!!! | | | |

Alert | TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Today while out of town with my family I recieved a phone call about all the negative postings about my business and myself. My intentions were purely to raise money for Reiley and the Lake family. I was trying to do something from my heart not something for profit or personal gain. That being said I was only able to raise $190.00 which was very disappointing and left me in a bad spot. My only choices were to either extend the raffle, or refund the tickets. I discussed these options with John Lake on Thursday afternoon he suggested I refund the money back to the ticket holders due to the low ticket sales. I expressed to John I was going out of town and would contact the ticket holders on Tuesday when I returned. I have decided to honor the raffle not for myself, and not for the people who feel they have to make comments about a situation in which they do not know the whole story.I have decided to honor the raffle for Reiley which this is what it is trully about. I will be contacting Susan Lake to arrange for Reiley to draw the winnning ticket and will update everyone at that time. Thank You and God Bless Hector Machado | | | |

Alert | I'm sorry, Hector, that your good intentions did not have an opportunity to come to fruition. I know many, many home improvement contractors who are financially hurting right now. Some have closed shop or laid off employees. It's awesome that H & N was able to honor the raffle. But it should be considered when looking at the situation that this is not a good economy for those who are self-employed and that if people were struggling to come up with $20 for a ticket, how much more difficult is it for someone with payroll and suppliers to provide an item worth 6K?
I think you've been painted unfairly as a person of poor character and I hope that despite this, you won't be discouraged from offering your services in better times. | |

Alert | | Yes Hector, as I stated, we suggested that you return the money after you finally contacted us after a friend contacted you after our many, many attempts in trying to reach you. We said we thought what you offered to do for our family was very kind. We also said that we didn't want you to be out of pocket that kind of money. When you finally did speak to John and I apologize it was June 12, not 13, that you had only sold ten tickets and what should you do. John and I had discussed with you back on May 12th that it was probably just best to refund the money to the 10 people because we did not want you out of pocket that kind of money. Then again we didn't hear back from you and we were being questioned over and over about what was happening, and we couldn't tell them. So Hector, please just refund the money to the 10 people that bought tickets from you. That's all I ask. I appreciate your trying to help Reiley, I really do, and have told you so repeatedly in emails and personal messages. I have enough to worry about and don't want to be in the middle of this mess anymore. So I ask you again, refund the money and email me the ten ticket names and phone numbers personally via PM and I will PM you as well as email you this same message. I need the information by today. Thank you and I wish you and your family, and your business the best. Susan Lake | | | |

Alert | | I just wanted to let everyone know that Hector just left the house. He returned the money to the people who bought the tickets and even the box of left over tickets to show that was all that he sold. I thank him for refunding everyone their money and thank him for his honesty! | | | |
