Moving day volunteers: Derek's family relocating in Brandon
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Brandon.
🇨🇦 Brandon, Manitoba, Canada1,111 views
After a break-in at the old place, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Brandon, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have two children, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for anyone with a van for about three 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 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.

Thinking of you and your family, Derek. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope January is when things finally get easier
rooting for you, Derek. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Love from Eldoret.
This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Peoria but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Brandon.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Leeds
Thanks for sharing this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page.
Sending love, Derek. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Sending good thoughts, Derek. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Thinking of you, Derek. Hope you get there. Greetings from Ikeja
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Manitoba. I'll ask around and let you know.

gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Manila.
Rooting for you, Derek. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
