Roofer needed urgently: Malak's home isn't safe
A roofer is needed to repair a burst pipe behind the wall at the home of a family of 5.

In April an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $280 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 $15.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out
I hope things turn around soon. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.
Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Dundee donated after I showed her your page.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 11 people at work.

Rooting for you, Malak. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of 6th of October City.
