A licensed electrician to fix a dangerous fault at Florence's home in Nairobi

An electrician is needed to repair a failed boiler with no heating at the home of a family of 4.

In September an inspector told me that my home has a failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $240 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 $15. 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 an electrician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Hang in there, Florence. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.

      wishing you peace, Florence. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

        Best of luck, Florence. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
