Help Michael with a roofer's skills: a failed boiler with no heating
Michael has a failed boiler with no heating, and can't afford a licensed roofer 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 failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,050 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $150.
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 roofer 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.

Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up!
Stay strong, Michael. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
wishing you peace, Michael. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Philadelphia
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Philadelphia.
Hang in there, Michael. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
