Electrician needed urgently: Wambui's home isn't safe
Wambui has a failed boiler with no heating, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In August an inspector told me that my home has a failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $210 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 $20.
The job should take about four 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.
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Wambui. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Jakarta!

rooting for you, Wambui. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 19 people at work. God bless.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Mesa this morning. God bless!
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Naivasha.

Sending good thoughts, Wambui. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Cluj-Napoca this morning. God bless.
Take care. Shared this with my family. After 16 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon, Wambui. 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.
