Help Basma with a plumber's skills: a septic backup
Basma has a septic backup, and can't afford a licensed plumber 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 septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $200 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 $30.
The job should take about six 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you the best, Basma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Hồ Chí Minh City but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Heliopolis.
Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Sending love, Basma. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care
Keep going, Basma. This could happen to any of us. Love from Winston-Salem.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Oakland donated after I showed her your page.
