Electrician needed urgently: Simiyu's home isn't safe
Simiyu has a septic backup, 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 a septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $300 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 $15.
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.
I hope life is good to you.

best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Peshawar.
Keep going, Simiyu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Contagem.
