Electrician needed urgently: Wyatt's home isn't safe
Wyatt has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning, 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 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 $2,300 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 $120.
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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Wyatt. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Chicago donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Sacramento.
Stay strong, Wyatt. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Cardiff this morning. All the best
best of luck, Wyatt. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Blessings.
keep going, Wyatt. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care.
