A licensed electrician to fix a dangerous fault at Alejandro's home in Barranquilla
An electrician is needed to repair faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning at the home of a family of 6.
🇨🇴 Barranquilla, Atlántico, Colombia362 views
In January an inspector told me that my home has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning. 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 electrician who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $25.
The job should take about three 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 an electrician 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.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. Love from Dallas.
hope things get better soon, Alejandro. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Rabat.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. I hope March is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Hang in there, Alejandro. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Madrid.

Take care, Alejandro. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Gujranwala.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

You're not alone, Alejandro. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
