Moving day volunteers: Sumaiya's family relocating in Dhaka

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

Dhaka
After a break-in at the old place, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Dhaka, and the lease starts on Monday. 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 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 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

      I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Dhaka.

      • Alejandro M. Guerrero

        Take care, Sumaiya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

            rooting for you, Sumaiya. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope March is when things finally get easier. All the best.
