Peter and Greta Rondeau fell in love with Melendy Pond for its beauty, peace, and promise of a life close to nature. They made it home for their family—raising three children there, with another baby due in April—believing they had found a safe and lasting place to put down roots.

That sense of security has been shaken by an unexpected dispute with the Town of Brookline, NH. The town is acting as landlord of the land beneath their home, leaving Peter and Greta facing shifting rules, escalating enforcement actions, and serious questions about their right to remain in the place they love.

To protect their home and their family’s future, they have engaged in an ongoing legal fight. This has brought significant and continuing legal expenses at a time when their focus should be on their children and welcoming a new baby.

This fundraiser exists to help cover those legal fees, easing the financial strain so Peter and Greta can continue defending their home without facing this burden alone. Every contribution is a way of standing beside them—helping with attorney and court costs, and reminding them that their community is behind them.

This is about more than one family. It’s about fairness, stability, and the right to live without fear of losing your home to bureaucratic uncertainty. If this story moves you, please consider supporting Peter and Greta as they navigate this difficult path and work to keep Melendy Pond the haven it has been for generations.
