Need strong backs and a van: moving Benjamin to safer housing
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Riverside.
🇺🇸 92551, Riverside, California, United States907 views
After a break-in at the old place, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Riverside, and the lease starts on Saturday. 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 third floor with no elevator 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings.
Best of luck, Benjamin. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Varanasi
So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Wishing you the best, Benjamin. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
