Is there a gas fitter who can donate a few hours in Johannesburg?

A gas fitter is needed to repair a burst pipe behind the wall at the home of a family of 4.

In March an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $230 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 $50. 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. Thank you for reading my story.

  • sending good thoughts, Kagiso. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Los Angeles.

    • I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Hแป“ Chรญ Minh City so I could bring a meal. All the best

      • take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Sheffield donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Sheffield.

        • Hang in there, Kagiso. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Johannesburg
