Need strong backs and a van: moving Divya to safer housing
Divya has found a safe new apartment in Manchester and needs help moving heavy furniture on Saturday.

After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Manchester, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have my elderly father, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for four volunteers 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 fourth floor walk-up 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
