Need strong backs and a van: moving Hauwa to safer housing
Moving day on Monday: we need 3-4 helpers and ideally a van.
🇳🇬 320830, Asaba, Delta, Nigeria804 views
After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Asaba, and the lease starts on Monday. I have a teenager and a toddler, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for 3-4 helpers 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

thanks for sharing this, Hauwa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Hauwa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thinking of you, Hauwa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Malang donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Caloocan but we're thinking of you
Hang in there, Hauwa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 30 people at work. God bless.

keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Stay strong, Hauwa. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Surrey but we're thinking of you. God bless
