Help John with a plumber's skills: a failed boiler with no heating
John 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.

In May 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 $130 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 $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 plumber and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
I hope life is good to you.

good luck. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. Take care.
best of luck, John. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
