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

After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Üsküdar, and the lease starts on Monday. 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 second floor 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

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. All the best.
thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Dar es Salaam this morning.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Üsküdar.
Hope things get better soon, Emine. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Üsküdar.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Love from Epe.
Rooting for you, Emine. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Edinburgh so I could bring a meal. Love from San Diego.
You're not alone, Emine. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 6 people at work. God bless
