Need strong backs and a van: moving Uchenna to safer housing
Moving day on Friday: we need a few strong people and ideally a van.
🇳🇬 100840, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria1,942 views
After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Ikeja, and the lease starts on Friday. I have two children, 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 fourth floor walk-up 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

you're not alone, Uchenna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength, Uchenna. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 12 people at work.

Wishing you the best, Uchenna. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Uchenna. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Thanks for sharing this, Uchenna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.

hope it all works out, Uchenna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Warsaw.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Greensboro this morning.
