Need strong backs and a van: moving Christopher to safer housing
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Buffalo.

After a break-in at the old place, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Buffalo, 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 a few strong people 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 third floor with no elevator and the new place has an elevator. 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

thanks for sharing this, Christopher. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Dhaka.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Kinondoni this morning.
so sorry you're going through this, Christopher. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending strength, Christopher. Shared this with my family. Blessings
Good luck, Christopher. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Rome.
Thinking of you, Christopher. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Vigo.
Good luck, Christopher. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Leeds.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Ikeja.
Thanks for sharing this, Christopher. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Birmingham
Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Seoul donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there, Christopher. This could happen to any of us.
Praying for you, Christopher. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings.
