Is there a plumber who can donate a few hours in Winston-Salem?

Lucía has a septic backup, and cannot afford a licensed plumber to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

Winston-Salem
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 $2,200 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 $185. 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. Thank you so much.
