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

Looking for a licensed electrician in Addis Ababa to donate time or work at cost.

Addis Ababa
In March an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $175 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 $15. 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 hope life is good to you.

        Sending strength, Selam. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings

          Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Addis Ababa

            Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in London donated after I showed her your page!
