Roofer needed urgently: Vanessa's home isn't safe
A roofer is needed to repair a failed boiler with no heating at the home of a family of 5.

In June an inspector told me that my home has a failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,250 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 $140.
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.

Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Pasig but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Warren but we're thinking of you
Thinking of you and your family, Vanessa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 11 people at work. All the best.
Good luck, Vanessa. Gave what I could, wish it was more
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Auckland
Hope things get better soon, Vanessa. This could happen to any of us.
