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

Lina 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 August 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 $2,500 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 $210. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      Thinking of you and your family, Lina. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best

          Good luck, Lina. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
