Roofer needed urgently: Chebet's home isn't safe
Chebet has a leaking gas line, and can't afford a licensed roofer to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In September 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 $120 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 $40.
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.

Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Davao City this morning.

Rooting for you, Chebet. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Seville.
