Avondale disabled veteran out $37,800 after contractor fails to finish home addition
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) A Pueblo County disabled veteran and his family are currently living in a construction zone and their life savings are gone.
Steve and Wendy Dunn said they paid a contractor for work on their home, but it was never completed. Now, their case has the attention of the Pueblo County District Attorney.
The couple moved to Avondale from Georgia for a better life and easier access to medicine for Wendy s epilepsy and lupus.
The Dunn s said they hired Legion Construction in August 2020. They wrote a $37,800 check on August 4 and gave it to the owner of the company Lucas Smith to start building an addition that would provide a handicap room and bathroom for Steve, a disabled veteran.
