A licensed electrician to fix a dangerous fault at Ghada's home in Cairo

Ghada has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

Cairo
In March an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $340 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 $35. The job should take about eight 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.

          Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

            so sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Cairo.
