Plumber needed urgently: Joyce's home isn't safe
A plumber is needed to repair dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms at the home of a family of 4.

In July an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $180 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 $25.
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 a plumber and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you for reading my story.

thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
Thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Manukau donated after I showed her your page.
Hope this works out for you. After 13 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Hang in there, Joyce. Shared this with my family.
Thanks for sharing this, Joyce. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Badagry.
Sending good thoughts, Joyce. This could happen to any of us.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Dar es Salaam!
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best!
