Moving day volunteers: Raymond's family relocating in Riverside
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Riverside.
🇺🇸 Riverside, California, United States448 views
After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Riverside, 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 four volunteers for about six hours. If you have a van or pickup, that would help enormously - I'll cover fuel.
The old place is on the second floor 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong, Raymond. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Sending strength, Raymond. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Hyderabad!
Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.

Take care. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Riverside

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from London.
You're not alone, Raymond. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
