Need strong backs and a van: moving Andrés to safer housing

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

Bogotá
After a break-in at the old place, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Bogotá, and the lease starts on Sunday. I have two children, 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 fourth floor walk-up 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 so much.

    Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. All the best!

    • Craig L. Barnett

      Thinking of you, Andrés. It takes guts to ask. Well done.

      • Marcel Theo Winter

        Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. God bless.

        • Walter George

          Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

          • Kevin W. Garcia

            Good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

              Sending good thoughts, Andrés. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Duluth but we're thinking of you. Take care

                You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 14 people at work. Love from Setagaya.
