Electrician needed urgently: Rebecca's home isn't safe
Rebecca has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In September an inspector told me that my home has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $900 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 $195.
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 hope life is good to you.

Hope this works out for you. After 17 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of San Diego.
Praying for you, Rebecca. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Wishing you peace, Rebecca. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of San Diego.
Hang in there, Rebecca. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Rebecca. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Wishing you peace, Rebecca. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of San Diego!
Take care, Rebecca. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. Thinking of San Diego
Stay strong, Rebecca. 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. Love from Laredo!
thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Lucknow so I could bring a meal. Thinking of San Diego.
you're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
