Electrician needed urgently: Nomsa's home isn't safe
Looking for a licensed electrician in Soweto to donate time or work at cost.
🇿🇦 Soweto, Gauteng, South Africa405 views
In December an inspector told me that my home has a leaking gas line. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $230 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 $25.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care, Nomsa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Mumbai.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Istanbul so I could bring a meal. Take care!
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Nomsa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Soweto.
Good luck, Nomsa. Shared it with a few friends. I hope March is when things finally get easier.
you're not alone, Nomsa. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Nomsa. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Good luck, Nomsa. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
