Help Usman with a gas fitter's skills: a burst pipe behind the wall
A gas fitter is needed to repair a burst pipe behind the wall at the home of a family of 5.
🇳🇬 100822, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria397 views
In April an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $155 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 $15.
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 gas fitter 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.

Take care, Usman. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Giza.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 7 people at work. Thinking of Ikeja!
You're not alone, Usman. This could happen to any of us. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
Sending strength. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

Thinking of you and your family, Usman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
sending love, Usman. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Çankaya this morning
