Need strong backs and a van: moving Sipho F to safer housing
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Johannesburg.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa932 views
After a break-in at the old place, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Johannesburg, and the lease starts on Wednesday. I have my elderly father, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for 3-4 helpers 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 third floor with no elevator 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Sipho F. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Johannesburg
so sorry you're going through this, Sipho F. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Best of luck, Sipho F. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
rooting for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Gangnam but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Gangnam
