Electrician needed urgently: Ricardo's home isn't safe
Looking for a licensed electrician in San Francisco to donate time or work at cost.

In August an inspector told me that my home has a leaking gas line. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,950 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 $135.
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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

hang in there, Ricardo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Mapo!
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. After 28 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Take care
sending good thoughts. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Québec

So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Katowice.
Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Please keep us posted. Thinking of San Francisco.
