Help a family move in Joliet - 4-hour job
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Joliet.
🇺🇸 Joliet, Illinois, United States1,114 views
After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Joliet, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have a teenager and a toddler, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for 3-4 helpers for about three hours. If you have a van or pickup, that would help enormously - I'll cover fuel.
The old place is on the third floor with no elevator and the new place has just one flight of stairs. 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care, Colton. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.

Wishing you peace, Colton. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours!
Wishing you peace, Colton. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Thanks for sharing this, Colton. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Manchester
