Need strong backs and a van: moving Annelie to safer housing
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Cape Town.
🇿🇦 Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa376 views
After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Cape Town, and the lease starts on Friday. I have a teenager and a toddler, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for four volunteers for about three 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Cape Town.
take care, Annelie. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Juiz de Fora.
