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

In November 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 three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $850 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 $45.
The job should take about six 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

thanks for sharing this, Joaquín. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in London this morning.
Best of luck, Joaquín. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Sending good thoughts, Joaquín. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 33 people at work. Love from Leeds.
