A licensed roofer to fix a dangerous fault at Surafel's home in Jimma

Surafel has a leaking gas line, and cannot afford a licensed roofer to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In August an inspector told me that my home has a leaking gas line. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $360 are beyond us. I'm looking for a licensed roofer 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 eight 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 roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

    Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

        Sending strength, Surafel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Kyoto.
