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

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

After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Birmingham, and the lease starts on Friday. I have three kids, 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 second floor 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Wishing you peace, Samir. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

    • Maliha Mitu Howlader

      hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best

      • Jimena S. Ramírez

        Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

          reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Birmingham

          • Violet Schneider
