Help Luana with a plumber's skills: a septic backup
Luana 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 December an inspector told me that my home has a septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $740 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 $50.
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 plumber and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Üsküdar.
Thinking of you, Luana. I hope things turn around soon.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro.
