Help a family move in Soweto - 4-hour job
Pravin has found a safe new apartment in Soweto and needs help moving heavy furniture on Monday.
🇿🇦 1813, Soweto, Gauteng, South Africa837 views
After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Soweto, 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 fourth floor walk-up 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.

So sorry you're going through this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Narayanganj.
keep going, Pravin. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Praying for you, Pravin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Warsaw this morning. Love from Warsaw.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Stay strong, Pravin. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless.
