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

A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Richards Bay.

Richards Bay
After a break-in at the old place, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Richards Bay, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have two children, 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. I hope life is good to you.

    So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Badagry.

                    stay strong, Pieter. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
