Moving day volunteers: Samuel's family relocating in Embakasi
Moving day on Sunday: we need anyone with a van and ideally a van.
🇰🇪 00556, Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya1,891 views
After my landlord sold the building, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Embakasi, and the lease starts on Sunday. I have a teenager and a toddler, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for anyone with a van 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 third floor with no elevator and the new place has an elevator. 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.
