Moving for work: Ruan needs transport to a larger city two hours away
A ride and a few boxes: that's all that stands between Ruan and a new job.
馃嚳馃嚘 KwaZulu-Natal, South AfricaPosted Aug 9, 2026294 views
I have been offered a job in a larger city two hours away, starting on Monday in September. I can't afford the bus and the 5 boxes I need to carry with me, and moving costs are beyond my means.
If you or someone you know is driving between Durban and a larger city two hours away, I'd love to share the journey, and I can cover fuel. If you have a van and a free day, even better.
I'm a good conversationalist but happy to be quiet. I have a reference from my last employer and from the person I'll be renting from in a larger city two hours away.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
- effort
- one-way trip

Hang in there, Ruan. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
hang in there. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Albany.
Best of luck, Ruan. Hope this works out for you. After 13 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
wishing you peace, Ruan. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Leicester donated after I showed her your page.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the shop reopens soon. Sent it to 29 people at work. Take care.
Best of luck, Ruan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Nagpur.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Quezon City
Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from A Coru帽a
Rooting for you, Ruan. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Kilkenny.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Thinking of you and your family, Ruan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Kampala this morning.
Rooting for you, Ruan. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Praying for you, Ruan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
