Help Ilaria with a gas fitter's skills: faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning

A gas fitter is needed to repair faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning at the home of a family of 4.

In January 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 two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,300 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 $110. The job should take about eight 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

        praying for you, Ilaria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 29 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
