Book Fundraiser
Books
Purchase one or more of the founder's books on Amazon, and 100% of the profits will be donated to H.E.L.P. But don't stop there! By forwarding the P.R. Release below to family and friends via email or social media, others will have the opportunity to jump on the bandwagon for affordable housing. Just think. If 300 people purchased just three eBooks ($2.99 each/free for Amazon Prime members), and then those 300 asked three others to do the same, after 7 more times using the same geometric sequence, our company would have sold enough eBooks to start the micro-village. The more books the public buys, the less our company will have to depend on investors looking for a high return on their investment.
The bottom line: We want to keep our cottages affordable for those working minimum-wage jobs. Any extra funds our company raises will help in the following areas: lower home prices, down payment assistance and interest rate buydowns for very low-income families, infrastructure costs, site planning, lower HOA fees, more community amenities, and upgrades for appliances, flooring, and blinds.

If we want a California for All, we have to build housing for all,” said Gov. Newsom in his State of the State Address. “I want to support local governments that do what's right, like Anaheim and Santa Rosa. But there must be accountability for those that don't.” With that message in mind, here is your chance to bring affordable housing to California. Great things can happen when people come together for a cause, and affordable housing is one of those great causes. For about the cost of two Starbucks coffees, 300 needy families in our state will hopefully have a shot at the American Dream. Please join with H.E.L.P. (House, Empower, and Lift People) to support housing that those with minimum wage jobs can afford. Together we can bring financial stability to needy families before they fall prey to homelessness. First, visit the website (www.helpncca.com) to learn more about our cottage housing development in Nevada County. If you believe in our cause, please purchase one or more books and/or go to the SUPPORT section on our website. But don't stop there. Get the word out to family and friends. Who knows? Maybe Prospector Village will be the catalyst that spurs other cities to action.
Gratefully yours,
Ken Merdinger
Founder of H.E.L.P.
