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

A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Dar es Salaam.

After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Dar es Salaam, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have three kids, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for a few strong people 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 fourth floor walk-up 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 so much.

                      reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
