Looking for a licensed plumber in Nairobi to donate time or work at cost.

Nairobi
In August an inspector told me that my home has a failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $440 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 $30. 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 plumber and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • praying for you, Lucy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page. Love from Manchester!

    • Good luck, Lucy. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

      • Good luck, Lucy. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning.

        • Sending strength, Lucy. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. God bless!

          • Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 21 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            • Praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

              • Thinking of you, Lucy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

                • Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

                  • Thinking of you, Lucy. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

                    • This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Nairobi.

                      • Keep going, Lucy. Hope this works out for you

                        • Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings

                          • best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Dhaka.

                            • A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from San Antonio.

                              • sending love, Lucy. This could happen to any of us. Take care.

                                • praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Istanbul.
