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

Baptiste has a burst pipe behind the wall, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

Gatineau
In March an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,150 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 $230. 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 an electrician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

      Sending strength, Baptiste. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 22 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        thinking of you, Baptiste. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

            praying for you, Baptiste. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

              Thanks for sharing this, Baptiste. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. All the best
