Electrician needed urgently: Santiago's home isn't safe
Santiago has a septic backup, and cannot 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 septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $760 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 $150.
The job should take about six 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.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Thinking of Birmingham.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best!
Thinking of you and your family, Santiago. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
keep going. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Birmingham.
wishing you the best, Santiago. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Take care, Santiago. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

you're not alone, Santiago. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Birmingham.
