Help Samira move out of an unsafe apartment this Sunday
Moving day on Sunday: we need anyone with a van and ideally a van.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt593 views
After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Cairo, and the lease starts on Sunday. I have my elderly father, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this, Samira. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Cairo
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
you're not alone, Samira. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Samira. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Samira. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Chicago so I could bring a meal.
