Need strong backs and a van: moving Megan to safer housing
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Ottawa.
🇨🇦 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada358 views
After my landlord sold the building, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Ottawa, and the lease starts on Friday. I have two children, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
