Gas fitter needed urgently: Mthunzi's home isn't safe
Mthunzi has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning, and can't afford a licensed gas fitter to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In February 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 elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $490 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed gas fitter who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $60.
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 a gas fitter 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.

you're not alone, Mthunzi. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Looking forward to the next update. After 15 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength, Mthunzi. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in San Nicolás de los Garza but we're thinking of you.
