Help Ruth with an electrician's skills: a burst pipe behind the wall

Ruth 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 December an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $2,250 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 $175. 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. Thank you so much.
