Help Aaron move out of an unsafe apartment this Monday
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Newcastle.

After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Newcastle, and the lease starts on Monday. I have three kids, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for four volunteers 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.

Sending love. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Newcastle
Hang in there, Aaron. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 9 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Newcastle
Keep going. Shared this with my family. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Rooting for you, Aaron. Hope this works out for you. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Khon Kaen.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Rennes.

Hope things get better soon, Aaron. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
