A licensed gas fitter to fix a dangerous fault at Carla's home in Pretoria
Carla has a leaking gas line, and can't afford a licensed gas fitter to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In May an inspector told me that my home has a leaking gas line. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $270 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed gas fitter who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $30.
The job should take about eight hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request.
If you're a gas fitter and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

hang in there, Carla. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Melbourne
You're not alone, Carla. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 36 people at work. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Ballarat donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Ballarat
Wishing you peace, Carla. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Mobile
you're not alone, Carla. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 18 people at work.
Rooting for you, Carla. Shared this with my family
Take care, Carla. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Sending love, Carla. Hope you get there. Blessings.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope August is when things finally get easier. God bless.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Love from San Nicolás de los Garza.
Hope things get better soon, Carla. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Coventry but we're thinking of you
You're not alone, Carla. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Pretoria.
Sending love. Hope this works out for you. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
