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

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

Istanbul
After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Istanbul, and the lease starts on Wednesday. I have three kids, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for anyone with a van 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 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Hope things get better soon, Barış. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Hanoi donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Istanbul

      Praying for you, Barış. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you.

        Rooting for you, Barış. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

        • Rafaela Fernanda Pacheco

          it takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Çankaya but we're thinking of you. All the best.

          • Yolanda L. Acosta

            keep going, Barış. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Miami but we're thinking of you. Take care

              Good luck, Barış. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Oakland this morning. Take care.
