Need strong backs and a van: moving Shireen to safer housing
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Johannesburg.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa241 views
After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Johannesburg, and the lease starts on Tuesday. I have my elderly father, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for a few strong people 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 third floor with no elevator 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you, Shireen. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Praying for you, Shireen. Shared this with my family.
Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Iloilo City donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Johannesburg

Best of luck, Shireen. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Blessings
