A licensed plumber to fix a dangerous fault at José's home in Miami

José has a failed boiler with no heating, and cannot afford a licensed plumber to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In November an inspector told me that my home has a failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $2,300 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 $250. 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 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.

        thanks for sharing this, José. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Richards Bay but we're thinking of you.
