The name Helez in Hebrew letters is חלץ. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
חלץ
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is חלץ. A Tanakh name: the name of two Israelites (first in 2 Samuel 23:26; 5 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 128 — the same as the Torah word חלץ, “to pull out, remove”. That number points to Torah page 128 of 354 — in the portion Mishpatim. What that portion is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Lamentations 4:8. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Helez” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: חלץ. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name חלץ gives 128.

If there be laid on him a ransom, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 938.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 20. A Torah word with the same number is היה — “to be, become” (Genesis 1:2).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 38. A Torah word with the same number is גלה — “to uncover” (Genesis 9:21).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 636. A Torah word with the same number is שלוש — “three” (Genesis 5:22).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 9064.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 174. A Torah word with the same number is עקד — “striped” (Genesis 30:35).
The letters that come out are סכה — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 85. A Torah word with the same number is פה — “mouth” (Genesis 4:11).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 596. A Torah word with the same number is שמרון — “Shimron, son of Issachar” (Genesis 46:13).
The number 128 appears in the classical books 9 times across 9 works. The earliest mention is דרושי שער הכוונות (~1573).

Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
