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

In August 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 $1,800 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed plumber who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $165.
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 a plumber and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
I hope life is good to you.

Stay strong, Louise. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Mohammedia but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
Hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings!
hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Love from Jaffna.
Thinking of you and your family, Louise. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Los Angeles.
Rooting for you, Louise. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
