Plumber needed urgently: Chinmay's home isn't safe
Chinmay has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms, and can't afford a licensed plumber to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In December an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $140 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed plumber 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 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 a plumber 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.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Surat.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Rio de Janeiro so I could bring a meal. Love from Patna.
Thinking of you, Chinmay. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Mumbai!
