Plumber needed urgently: Walter's home isn't safe
A plumber is needed to repair a failed boiler with no heating at the home of a family of 3.
🇺🇸 Fresno, California, United States853 views
In August an inspector told me that my home has a failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $2,800 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 $105.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Fresno.
good luck, Walter. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Shared this with my family. Greetings from Limoges
Stay strong. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thinking of you, Walter. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.

Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Rooting for you, Walter. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Fresno
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Scranton
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Fresno.

Hope you get there. After 13 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
