Help Charmaine with a plumber's skills: faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning
Charmaine has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning, and can't afford a licensed plumber to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In August 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 $185 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 $45.
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 plumber and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope it all works out, Charmaine. Hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Charmaine. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
Stay strong, Charmaine. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Miami.
Rooting for you, Charmaine. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Praying for you, Charmaine. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 19 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Likoni.

thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Quezon City
Keep going, Charmaine. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

Take care, Charmaine. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
