Moving day volunteers: Brandon's family relocating in Johannesburg

Johannesburg
After my landlord sold the building, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Johannesburg, and the lease starts on Friday. I have two children, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for anyone with a van for about five hours. If you have a van or pickup, that would help enormously - I'll cover fuel. The old place is on the second floor 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    best of luck, Brandon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Oakland but we're thinking of you. Blessings.

          hope things get better soon, Brandon. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Narayanganj.
