In January 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 $990 are beyond us. I'm looking for a licensed HVAC technician who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $250. 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 HVAC technician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. Glad we found this place.

    Sending love, Wendy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!

      Rooting for you, Wendy. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.

        Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
