Roofer needed urgently: Colton's home isn't safe

Colton has a failed boiler with no heating, and can't afford a licensed roofer to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

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 $1,900 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 $80. The job should take about eight 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 so much.

    I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Birmingham

      I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Jinja

        I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 6 people at work.
