HVAC technician needed urgently: Ruby's home isn't safe
Ruby has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms, and can't afford a licensed HVAC technician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In April 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 $780 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed HVAC technician who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $210.
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 HVAC technician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up.
Praying for you, Ruby. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Bilbao this morning. Take care.
