Help Caroline with a gas fitter's skills: dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms

Caroline has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms, and cannot afford a licensed gas fitter to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In June an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $3,200 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 $170. 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. Thank you for reading my story.

      Praying for you, Caroline. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Bakersfield.
