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

Moving day on Wednesday: we need 3-4 helpers and ideally a van.

After a break-in at the old place, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Newcastle upon Tyne, and the lease starts on Wednesday. I have two children, 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 fourth floor walk-up and the new place has an elevator. 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. Glad we found this place.

    Hope it all works out, Wayne. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne.

    • Ruth Wambui Mwangi

      Praying for you, Wayne. Shared it with a few friends. Love from San Jose.

        A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

        • Kristine B. Tomas

          Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 22 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            sending strength, Wayne. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope August is when things finally get easier. God bless.

              Sending love, Wayne. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
