Roofer needed urgently: Chukwuemeka's home isn't safe
Chukwuemeka 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.

In December 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 elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $320 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 $30.
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 roofer 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.
