Plumber needed urgently: Victor's home isn't safe
Victor has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning, and can't afford a licensed plumber to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In August 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 $270 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 $30.
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.
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted
Take care, Victor. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Sending strength, Victor. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hang in there, Victor. This could happen to any of us. God bless
keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 31 people at work. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto
Sending strength, Victor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 9 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
