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

An electrician is needed to repair a burst pipe behind the wall at the home of a family of 5.

Addis Ababa
In August an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $110 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 $35. 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

        Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Xalapa.

          Rooting for you, Fasil. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Addis Ababa.

            Good luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Madrid donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Madrid
