Help Caroline with an electrician's skills: a leaking gas line
Caroline has a leaking gas line, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In June an inspector told me that my home has a leaking gas line. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $230 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed electrician who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $15.
The job should take about three 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 an electrician 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.

Stay strong, Caroline. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 17 people at work.
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Nairobi

Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending strength, Caroline. Shared this with my family
