A licensed gas fitter to fix a dangerous fault at Leo's home in Victoria
A gas fitter is needed to repair a burst pipe behind the wall at the home of a family of 3.

In September an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,800 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 $170.
The job should take about three 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace, Leo. Hope this works out for you.
Best of luck, Leo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
keep going, Leo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Victoria.
Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Victoria

Hang in there, Leo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Victoria.
Wishing you the best, Leo. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 15 people at work. Love from Cardiff.
so sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless!

Keep going, Leo. I hope things turn around soon.
Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 8 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Victoria
you're not alone, Leo. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
