Help Craig move out of an unsafe apartment this Wednesday
Moving day on Wednesday: we need a few strong people and ideally a van.

After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Ottawa, and the lease starts on Wednesday. I have two children, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for a few strong people 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 fourth floor walk-up 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
