Help Achieng with a plumber's skills: dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms
Achieng has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms, and cannot afford a licensed plumber to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In February an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $230 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed plumber who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $35.
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 plumber and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best, Achieng. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. After 22 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Cambridge.

Best of luck, Achieng. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Good luck, Achieng. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Tacoma so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Best of luck, Achieng. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Ludhiana but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. Love from Kasarani
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from London
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Kampala.
Hang in there, Achieng. Shared this with my family. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kampala.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Stay strong, Achieng. Hope you get there!
Keep going, Achieng. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Likoni
