Help Walid with a gas fitter's skills: faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning

Walid has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning, and can't afford a licensed gas fitter to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In August 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 elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,300 are beyond us. I'm looking for a licensed gas fitter who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $155. 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 gas fitter and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. Glad we found this place.

    You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. God bless.

        thinking of you, Walid. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
