Moving day volunteers: Ezekiel's family relocating in Detroit
Ezekiel has found a safe new apartment in Detroit and needs help moving heavy furniture on Sunday.
🇺🇸 Detroit, Michigan, United States623 views
After my landlord sold the building, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Detroit, and the lease starts on Sunday. I have three kids, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for four volunteers 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 third floor with no elevator 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
