Need strong backs and a van: moving Anika to safer housing
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Pune.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India1,827 views
After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Pune, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have three kids, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for 3-4 helpers 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 a ground-floor entrance. 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending strength, Anika. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
I hope things turn around soon. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there, Anika. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Pune.

Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Pune.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Thinking of you and your family, Anika. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Mumbai
Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Nagpur.
