Thanks all!
I remember approaching one of my former dcs about fixing my computer and saving his dc expenses that week but he wasn't interested. He had 2 kids, thought it sounded like a good deal. But this time instead of approaching anyone personally, I'll put it out there in the newsletter and see if anybody shows an interest. That way no one will feel put on the spot. Or maybe they know of someone who's a handyman but won't charge $100 to walk in my door.
Thanks for your replies, I appreciate it!
