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

In April an inspector told me that my home has a leaking gas line. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $550 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed plumber who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $85.
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 plumber 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.

Keep going, Araceli. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 26 people at work.
thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Keep going. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 5 people at work.
Wishing you the best, Araceli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
So sorry you're going through this, Araceli. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Ciudad de México
Sending strength, Araceli. This could happen to any of us. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending good thoughts, Araceli. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Araceli. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update.
praying for you, Araceli. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Lagos.
praying for you, Araceli. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
Good luck, Araceli. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Chennai this morning. Love from Chennai
Hope you get there. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Good luck, Araceli. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
you're not alone, Araceli. I hope things turn around soon.
good luck, Araceli. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
