Gas fitter needed urgently: Teresa's home isn't safe
Teresa has a failed boiler with no heating, and can't afford a licensed gas fitter to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

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 $800 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 $130.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Teresa. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up.
Take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Edmonton so I could bring a meal
take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of St. Louis.

Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Liverpool!
