Help John move out of an unsafe apartment this Wednesday
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Dar es Salaam.

After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Dar es Salaam, and the lease starts on Wednesday. I have two children, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for anyone with a van 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 third floor with no elevator 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

So sorry you're going through this, John. Hope this works out for you. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Dar es Salaam
Keep going, John. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
