Plumber needed urgently: Derek's home isn't safe
A plumber is needed to repair a leaking gas line at the home of a family of 5.
🇦🇺 Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia770 views
In March an inspector told me that my home has a leaking gas line. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $2,000 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 $195.
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 for reading my story.

Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Makati but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you, Derek. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Parramatta
Best of luck, Derek. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Derek. Hope you get there. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
