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

In July 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 $1,300 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 $250.
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 roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Columbus

Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Kyiv this morning. Greetings from Kyiv
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. After 10 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

Hope things get better soon, Craig. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Södertälje donated after I showed her your page.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 32 people at work.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Raleigh so I could bring a meal
Keep going, Craig. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
