Is there a gas fitter who can donate a few hours in Ottawa?
Hélène has a failed boiler with no heating, and can't afford a licensed gas fitter to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In March an inspector told me that my home has a failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,850 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 $260.
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.
Thank you so much.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
Praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Sukkur but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Ikeja.
Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Bakersfield donated after I showed her your page
Take care, Hélène. Hope this works out for you. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
rooting for you, Hélène. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Thinking of Ottawa.
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. God bless
