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

In September an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $2,200 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $135.
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 a roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Joaquín. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings
shared this with my family. Don't give up. Thinking of Scranton.
Sending good thoughts, Joaquín. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
