Need strong backs and a van: moving Mackenzie to safer housing
Moving day on Thursday: we need four volunteers and ideally a van.
🇺🇸 Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States457 views
After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Scranton, and the lease starts on Thursday. I have my elderly father, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for four volunteers for about three 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Mackenzie. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Khon Kaen.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Scranton.
stay strong, Mackenzie. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

So sorry you're going through this, Mackenzie. Hope you get there. Greetings from Sakai.
Thinking of you, Mackenzie. Your post was clear and honest. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Scranton
Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Ciudad de México but we're thinking of you.
stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 20 people at work. God bless
You're not alone, Mackenzie. Shared it with a few friends.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Scranton
Good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 18 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Los Angeles.
