In December of 2010 Daisy Davila was about to give birth to her daughter Fe. She thought that by December of this year she would be celebrating her daughter's first birthday inside a brand new home.
Instead, Daisy, her parents, brother and her daughter are living in what was once her dad's tool shed.
Fighting back tears, Daisy says her family can be added to the list of alleged victim's of the La Feria Park Girl. She says her parents gave Jo Leigh Area a 10 thousand dollar deposit for a double wide trailer last year. They only recieved one half of the mobile home this September, but haven't been able to move in because the price that Ares quoted her doesn't match the price the builder Legacy is charging the family.
Daisy and her family sought help from Texas Rio Grande Legal Aide. Their Organization has a pending lawsuit against Ares. They are seeking court protection for the mobile home sales customers. But Daisy fears the case could take months before it's resolved.
In the meantime, Daisy and her family are spending many cold nights in the tool shed in Laguna Heights. It measures 36 feet by 10 feet. Her family doesn't have enough room to roam around. It doesn't have heat or air conditioning, and they get their water from a sink outside the shed.
Daisy says this is the first Christmas she can truly say she only wants one gift.
