Is there an electrician who can donate a few hours in Joliet?
Roberto has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

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 $2,000 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 $90.
The job should take about eight 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.
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless!
Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
