Help Rasha with an electrician's skills: dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms
Rasha has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

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 $1,100 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 $290.
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 an electrician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going, Rasha. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. God bless
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. After 17 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Yekaterinburg this morning.
You're not alone, Rasha. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
