A licensed gas fitter to fix a dangerous fault at Luís's home in Salvador
Luís has a burst pipe behind the wall, and can't afford a licensed gas fitter to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In July an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $650 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 $25.
The job should take about four 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.
Glad we found this place.

I live about 11 km from Salvador. I can help at the weekend, tell me what you need. Flexible on timing.

so sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. After 26 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Sending love, Luís. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
You're not alone, Luís. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care
sending strength, Luís. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
