Is there a plumber who can donate a few hours in Cologne?

Jonas has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning, and can't afford a licensed plumber to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

Cologne
In August 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 elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,350 are beyond us. I'm looking for a licensed plumber who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $190. 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 plumber 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.
