Is there a gas fitter who can donate a few hours in Toronto?

A gas fitter is needed to repair faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning at the home of a family of 4.

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 two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,250 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 $105. The job should take about three 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. Thank you for reading my story.

            You're not alone, Yusuf. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings

                So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Gangnam donated after I showed her your page. God bless

                  A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Lyon so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Thủ Đức.

                      Wishing you peace, Yusuf. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
