Help Janaka move out of an unsafe apartment this Thursday
Moving day on Thursday: we need four volunteers and ideally a van.

After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Colombo, and the lease starts on Thursday. I have a teenager and a toddler, 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 an elevator. 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Laredo.
Thinking of you, Janaka. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Glasgow.
