Roofer needed urgently: Dennis's home isn't safe
Looking for a licensed roofer in Machakos to donate time or work at cost.

In September an inspector told me that my home has a leaking gas line. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $380 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 six 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.
Glad we found this place.

I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Take care, Dennis. Your post was clear and honest. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Machakos!
Best of luck, Dennis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Machakos.
So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from New Orleans.
Thinking of you and your family, Dennis. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Dennis. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

rooting for you, Dennis. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

this could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Machakos.
