Plumber needed urgently: Maurício's home isn't safe
A plumber is needed to repair dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms at the home of a family of 5.

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 two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $530 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 $60.
The job should take about six 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.

Hope things get better soon, Maurício. Your post was clear and honest. After 25 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Depok donated after I showed her your page.
Good luck, Maurício. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Tokyo
stay strong, Maurício. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
