Electrician needed urgently: Mwangi's home isn't safe
Mwangi 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.

In July an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $290 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 $20.
The job should take about three 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Jessore.
Praying for you, Mwangi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Kyiv.
Wishing you peace, Mwangi. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted.
Hope it all works out, Mwangi. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
