Brooklyn
After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Brooklyn, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have a teenager and a toddler, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for 3-4 helpers for about four 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 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Best of luck, Sophie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together

        I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Lapu-Lapu this morning.

          Keep going, Sophie. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Brooklyn.

          • Mavis Vida Zakaria

            Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Toronto!

                You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 6 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
