Roofer needed urgently: Carlos's home isn't safe
Carlos has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning, and can't afford a licensed roofer to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia458 views
In May 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 newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $590 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $20.
The job should take about three 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 roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Madrid
Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Bogotá
Wishing you the best, Carlos. Shared this with my family. Love from Kinondoni.
Thinking of you, Carlos. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Riyadh.
