Need strong backs and a van: moving Mamadou to safer housing

Moving day on Monday: we need four volunteers and ideally a van.

After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Utrecht, 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 four 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 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Sending love, Mamadou. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Cambridge.
