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

After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Machakos, and the lease starts on Wednesday. I have three kids, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for anyone with a van 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 third floor with no elevator 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Thanks for sharing this, Kipchoge. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Salem this morning. Greetings from Salem
sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Stuttgart.
Wishing you peace, Kipchoge. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Hang in there, Kipchoge. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 10 people at work. All the best.
hope things get better soon, Kipchoge. Shared this with my family. After 30 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
