Homeless people building a bike out of dumpster divings is a common sight around town. I think if you need it done, you learn how to do it. It's only human.
When you get the new spoke in, plink on the spokes around the wheel, just on the one side if it's a rear, and make the new spoke give the same sound. Then spin the wheel. Adjust 1/4 turn at a time after you get close.
