Help Josephine with an electrician's skills: a burst pipe behind the wall
Josephine has a burst pipe behind the wall, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In August an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,700 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed electrician who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $130.
The job should take about three 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 an electrician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Abuja so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Zaporizhzhia.
praying for you, Josephine. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Josephine. 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. Love from Amritsar.
Hope things get better soon, Josephine. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending strength, Josephine. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
