Roofer needed urgently: Okta's home isn't safe
A roofer is needed to repair dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms at the home of a family of 3.

In August an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $210 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 $10.
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 roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.

Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Ahmedabad donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan
Praying for you, Okta. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Love from Paris.
Praying for you, Okta. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
