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

In June an inspector told me that my home has a septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $2,100 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 $210.
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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going, Megan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to São Paulo so I could bring a meal.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Bakersfield
Sending good thoughts, Megan. Hope you get there.
wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better!

Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Kawasaki donated after I showed her your page.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Bakersfield.
Thinking of you and your family, Megan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Praying for you, Megan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Wellington this morning
