HVAC technician needed urgently: Salma's home isn't safe
Salma has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning, and can't afford a licensed HVAC technician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh958 views
In July 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 three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $160 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 $25.
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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Take care, Salma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Dhaka.
So sorry you're going through this, Salma. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
