Help Hellen move out of an unsafe apartment this Thursday
Moving day on Thursday: we need four volunteers and ideally a van.
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda511 views
After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Kampala, and the lease starts on Thursday. 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck, Hellen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Stay strong, Hellen. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kampala.
Hope it all works out, Hellen. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Gangnam but we're thinking of you
Thinking of you and your family, Hellen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care!
thinking of you, Hellen. I hope things turn around soon.
