Short story: I am a single mom to a daughter in college, and HH owes me over $30,000, due back to me in December 2024. They refuse to pay, saying that they are just older people with no resources. Long story: back in 2020, I belonged to the Hager Homestead startup group. It was called Middlesex Senior Cohousing then. I thought I would move in. When they needed short term loans to complete construction, I&nbsp;thought they were trustworthy. I&nbsp;later moved on from the group, due to illness in my family. Now, HH's lawyer tells my lawyer that HH has no resources. Littleton, do HH&nbsp;members tell you about their travel to California, their birding trips, and trips overseas? I&nbsp;need to be repaid. I'm putting a daughter through college. Please share information if you can. Or, just talk to HH on my behalf. I am at: <a href="mailto:arlington1mass@gmail.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">arlington1mass@gmail.com</a>
