Moving day volunteers: Oshadi's family relocating in Dehiwala
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Dehiwala.
🇱🇰 Dehiwala, Western, Sri Lanka532 views
After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Dehiwala, and the lease starts on Wednesday. I have my elderly father, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for anyone with a van for about four 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Dehiwala.
