Gas fitter needed urgently: Vida's home isn't safe
A gas fitter is needed to repair faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning at the home of a family of 5.

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 $240 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 $20.
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.
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Vida. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Vida. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
take care, Vida. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
praying for you, Vida. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Obuasi donated after I showed her your page.
