After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Addis Ababa, and the lease starts on Sunday. 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 five 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 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
