Awww so sorry to hear that! I would re-test to make sure that the test was accurate. If it was, could you maybe get it fixed and put it on a credit card, one with 0% interest for a period of time? Then you could pay it off over time. I think you can write off the expense too. Oh and for me, my water heater inspection was way cheaper than the furnace inspection. Sorry to hear about your husband too. Hopefully something will come along for him.
