Need strong backs and a van: moving Svetlana to safer housing
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Kyiv.
🇺🇦 01050, Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine652 views
After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Kyiv, and the lease starts on Friday. 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 three 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.

Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
Hang in there, Svetlana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Kyiv.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 9 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything
