Roofer needed urgently: Silvia's home isn't safe
A roofer is needed to repair a septic backup at the home of a family of 4.
🇨🇴 110846, Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia817 views
In March an inspector told me that my home has a septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $470 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 four 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Angeles

Sending love, Silvia. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Rooting for you, Silvia. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 26 people at work.
