Help Selim with a roofer's skills: a leaking gas line
Selim has a leaking gas line, and cannot afford a licensed roofer to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In September an inspector told me that my home has a leaking gas line. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $600 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 $30.
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.
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, Selim. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in San Nicolás de los Garza this morning. Love from San Nicolás de los Garza.
Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Nashik.
