Is there an electrician who can donate a few hours in Accra?

Lawrence has a leaking gas line, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In May an inspector told me that my home has a leaking gas line. 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 electrician 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 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 an electrician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

            Rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you. God bless.
