Moving day volunteers: Silas's family relocating in Calgary
Moving day on Friday: we need a few strong people and ideally a van.
🇨🇦 Calgary, Alberta, Canada667 views
After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Calgary, 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 a few strong people 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this, Silas. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Keep going, Silas. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
You're not alone, Silas. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Good luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
