Is there a gas fitter who can donate a few hours in Istanbul?
Dilara 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 September 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 $270 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 $45.
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.
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Dilara. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Istanbul
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Istanbul!
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together
Stay strong, Dilara. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Toronto.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Istanbul.
keep going, Dilara. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Keep going, Dilara. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Istanbul
Good luck, Dilara. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
