Need strong backs and a van: moving Zhen to safer housing
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in San Antonio.
🇺🇸 San Antonio, Texas, United States382 views
After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in San Antonio, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have two children, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for a few strong people 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Zhen. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
so sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Hamilton but we're thinking of you. Love from Hamilton.
Hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Curitiba but we're thinking of you. Thinking of San Antonio.
Thinking of you, Zhen. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Rajshahi but we're thinking of you
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of San Antonio.
rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from San Jose.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Naples so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there, Zhen. Shared it with a few friends.
Thanks for sharing this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
