Electrician needed urgently: Mona's home isn't safe
Mona has a burst pipe behind the wall, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In July an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $2,400 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 $260.
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.

You're not alone, Mona. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Yonkers
sending strength, Mona. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Prayagraj donated after I showed her your page. Love from Prayagraj.
Keep going, Mona. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to New Delhi so I could bring a meal. Take care.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Yonkers.
