A licensed gas fitter to fix a dangerous fault at Can's home in Istanbul
Can has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms, and can't afford a licensed gas fitter to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In May 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 $450 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed gas fitter who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $45.
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 gas fitter and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, Can. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Ribeirão Preto donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto.
Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
Take care, Can. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Rooting for you, Can. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Karlsruhe.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Sending strength, Can. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Istanbul
Praying for you. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Bang Khen but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Istanbul.
so sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. All the best
