Is there an electrician who can donate a few hours in San Diego?
Dong has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In February an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,300 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 $290.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Polokwane.
Praying for you, Dong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 25 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Wellington.
Best of luck, Dong. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Jakarta Selatan this morning. Love from Jakarta Selatan
Good luck, Dong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of San Diego
this could happen to any of us. Greetings from Xalapa.
You're not alone, Dong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
Keep going, Dong. 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. All the best
