Help Oshadi with a gas fitter's skills: a failed boiler with no heating
A gas fitter is needed to repair a failed boiler with no heating at the home of a family of 6.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka1,440 views
In July an inspector told me that my home has a failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $105 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 $20.
The job should take about three 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

praying for you, Oshadi. Hope you get there. God bless.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Los Angeles.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Embakasi donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
thanks for sharing this, Oshadi. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Berlin this morning. Love from Berlin.
best of luck, Oshadi. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
You're not alone, Oshadi. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Hang in there, Oshadi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Gujranwala donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Colombo.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Colombo.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Stockholm so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Winston-Salem
