Electrician needed urgently: Brian's home isn't safe
Looking for a licensed electrician in Flint to donate time or work at cost.
Anywhere in the world870 views
In June an inspector told me that my home has a septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,250 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 $120.
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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Brian. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Pattaya donated after I showed her your page.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Wishing you peace, Brian. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. All the best
Good luck, Brian. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to São Paulo so I could bring a meal
Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Flint.
