Help Kiptoo with a roofer's skills: dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms

A roofer is needed to repair dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms at the home of a family of 4.

In July an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $150 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 $10. 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 roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Manila
