Is there a gas fitter who can donate a few hours in Oakland?
Angel 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 August an inspector told me that my home has a septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,250 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 $240.
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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Take care
Good luck, Angel. This could happen to any of us. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Jacksonville.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
So sorry you're going through this, Angel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
