Help José with a gas fitter's skills: a leaking gas line

Looking for a licensed gas fitter in Niterói to donate time or work at cost.

In August an inspector told me that my home has a leaking gas line. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $290 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 $80. The job should take about four 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    sending love, José. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      hang in there, José. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Niterói
