Help Emily move out of an unsafe apartment this Monday
Moving day on Monday: we need a few strong people and ideally a van.
🇬🇧 Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom750 views
After my landlord sold the building, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Glasgow, and the lease starts on Monday. I have my elderly father, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for a few strong people for about five 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

shared it with a few friends. After 21 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending strength, Emily. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Take care.
You're not alone, Emily. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 5 people at work. All the best.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Awka.
