Is there a roofer who can donate a few hours in Hanoi?
A roofer is needed to repair a failed boiler with no heating at the home of a family of 4.

In April 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 $140 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 $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 roofer 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.

a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
You're not alone, Trinh. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Toronto donated after I showed her your page.

Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Fortaleza.
