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

In April 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 $2,250 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $260.
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 roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Mthatha.
Stay strong, Emily. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
So sorry you're going through this, Emily. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Fort Worth.
Praying for you, Emily. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Moscow.
You're not alone, Emily. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 13 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
