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

In September 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 $220 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed HVAC technician who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $30.
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 HVAC technician 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.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 38 people at work. Love from Rohini.
Praying for you, Hiwot. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
Wishing you peace, Hiwot. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Yogyakarta.

Sending strength, Hiwot. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best.
Stay strong, Hiwot. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Miami.
hope things get better soon, Hiwot. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
