Help a family move in Essen - 4-hour job
Moving day on Monday: we need four volunteers and ideally a van.
🇩🇪 Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany763 views
After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Essen, and the lease starts on Monday. I have two children, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for four volunteers for about six hours. If you have a van or pickup, that would help enormously - I'll cover fuel.
The old place is on the second floor and the new place has an elevator. We'll do it in two trips. Lunch and cold drinks are on me.
I know this is a lot to ask of strangers. I'd be happy to share references from my landlord and my employer.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Praying for you, Sophia. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Hamburg but we're thinking of you. Love from Hamburg.
Good luck, Sophia. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
best of luck, Sophia. Hope you get there. Love from Brooklyn.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Arlington
Keep going, Sophia. I hope things turn around soon.
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Yonkers this morning. Thinking of Essen.
Keep going, Sophia. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Tuxtla Gutiérrez
Hang in there, Sophia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
