Moving day volunteers: Priya's family relocating in Johannesburg

A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Johannesburg.

After my landlord sold the building, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Johannesburg, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have a teenager and a toddler, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for four volunteers 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    best of luck, Priya. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
