Help Umesh with a plumber's skills: dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms

A plumber is needed to repair dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms at the home of a family of 3.

In December an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $450 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 eight 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.

    Hang in there, Umesh. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Hyderabad this morning. Love from Hyderabad

      Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Makassar so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Jalandhar.

        Good luck, Umesh. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

          Take care, Umesh. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
