Help a family move in Rio de Janeiro - 4-hour job

A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Rio de Janeiro.

Rio de Janeiro
After my landlord sold the building, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Rio de Janeiro, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have my elderly father, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for 3-4 helpers 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 third floor with no elevator and the new place has a ground-floor entrance. 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Good luck, Henrique. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too

    • Uchenna Femi Okonkwo

      hope things get better soon, Henrique. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 37 people at work.

                Wishing you the best, Henrique. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro.
