A licensed plumber to fix a dangerous fault at Shafiq's home in Narayanganj

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

Narayanganj
In December 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 $240 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 $15. 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. Thank you for reading my story.

    stay strong, Shafiq. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Narayanganj.

        I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Brampton.
