Is there a gas fitter who can donate a few hours in Auckland?
Sebastian has a septic backup, and can't afford a licensed gas fitter to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In April an inspector told me that my home has a septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $2,050 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 $210.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace, Sebastian. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together.
Good luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
