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

After my landlord sold the building, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Utrecht, and the lease starts on Tuesday. 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 five 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 a ground-floor entrance. 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.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Chennai so I could bring a meal
Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Buenos Aires so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Kanpur but we're thinking of you.
Best of luck, Gijs. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Dar es Salaam donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
