Is there a plumber who can donate a few hours in Colombo?
A plumber is needed to repair a burst pipe behind the wall at the home of a family of 6.

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 $320 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed plumber who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $45.
The job should take about eight 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 plumber and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Roshan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Kasarani donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Roshan. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Colombo.

hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Colombo.
Hope it all works out, Roshan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
take care, Roshan. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Howrah so I could bring a meal. Blessings

Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Thủ Đức.
