Help Alexa with a gas fitter's skills: faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning
Alexa 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 January 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 $1,250 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 $135.
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 a gas fitter and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Riverside this morning. Take care.
Take care, Alexa. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Alexa. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Thinking of you and your family, Alexa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 24 people at work. Take care!

Thinking of you, Alexa. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Wollongong
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together
Sending strength, Alexa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
