Is there a gas fitter who can donate a few hours in Ekurhuleni?
Jabu has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms, and can't afford a licensed gas fitter to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In January an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $390 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 $25.
The job should take about four 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.

Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. I hope April is when things finally get easier.
Stay strong, Jabu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Birmingham!
shared this with my family. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Novosibirsk donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Ekurhuleni.
Praying for you, Jabu. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in San Nicolás de los Garza donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
