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

After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Caruaru, and the lease starts on Thursday. 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 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.

Take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hang in there, Manuela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
Sending love, Manuela. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Caruaru.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Wishing you peace, Manuela. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
you're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Caruaru
