Moving day volunteers: Philipp's family relocating in Düsseldorf
Moving day on Friday: we need anyone with a van and ideally a van.
🇩🇪 40214, Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany899 views
After my landlord sold the building, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Düsseldorf, and the lease starts on Friday. 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
