Need strong backs and a van: moving Bongani to safer housing
Moving day on Tuesday: we need 3-4 helpers and ideally a van.

After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Sandton, and the lease starts on Tuesday. I have two children, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for 3-4 helpers for about five hours. If you have a van or pickup, that would help enormously - I'll cover fuel.
The old place is on the second floor 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.

Stay strong, Bongani. 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. Greetings from Ann Arbor.
Hope things get better soon, Bongani. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.

Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours.
Sending strength, Bongani. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Coventry but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Coventry
