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

In August an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,350 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $125.
The job should take about six 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 roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there, Derek. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Columbia.
thinking of you, Derek. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Please keep us posted

Hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best!
Keep going, Derek. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
