Gas fitter needed urgently: Mwende's home isn't safe
A gas fitter is needed to repair a failed boiler with no heating at the home of a family of 3.
🇰🇪 00541, Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya807 views
In July an inspector told me that my home has a failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $300 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 $30.
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 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.

Wishing you peace, Mwende. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Embakasi.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Cluj-Napoca.
