Moving day volunteers: Okello's family relocating in Nairobi
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Nairobi.

After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Nairobi, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have two children, 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength, Okello. Hope you get there.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Rooting for you, Okello. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Hang in there, Okello. Hope this works out for you. Love from Liverpool.
Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Greetings from Fort Portal.
Hope things get better soon, Okello. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Veracruz.
Thinking of you, Okello. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Colombo but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Nairobi.
sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
hang in there, Okello. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Nairobi
looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Parma donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Okello. This could happen to any of us. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
take care. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 19 people at work.
Stay strong, Okello. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending strength, Okello. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Bangkok so I could bring a meal
