Need strong backs and a van: moving Rasika to safer housing
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Colombo.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka873 views
After my landlord sold the building, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Colombo, and the lease starts on Thursday. I have three kids, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for anyone with a van 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 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you, Rasika. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Colombo.
