Help Nneka with a plumber's skills: faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning
A plumber is needed to repair faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning at the home of a family of 6.

In February 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 $145 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 $30.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Nneka. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Catania this morning.
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Verona.
Praying for you, Nneka. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Warsaw but we're thinking of you. God bless
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Bang Khen this morning.
Praying for you, Nneka. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Coyoacán.
