Help Upendo with a gas fitter's skills: a failed boiler with no heating
Upendo has a failed boiler with no heating, and can't afford a licensed gas fitter to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In May 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 $400 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 $25.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength, Upendo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Da Nang so I could bring a meal.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Mwanza.
Keep going, Upendo. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Montréal but we're thinking of you.
