Hi, friends! As our rent has doubled to over $4000 a month, Kazi and I are moving! We are relocating from the City Market to the Bannister/Hillcrest area. Moving weekend starts on Friday, August 14th at 10:00 AM with light duty/Packing/Labeling activities until 5:00 PM. Truck loading and unloading will happen on Saturday, August 15th starting at 10:00 AM until we are done.
Because of my heart condition, I’ve been medically advised not to do strenuous lifting, so we need a real crew to make this move work safely. We will have a truck with a loading ramp, tie-down rope, professional moving straps, 2 hand trucks, and 2 wagons for transporting smoothly. If physical moving work may not be accessible or advisable for you, we also have several jobs that do not require lifting and would help a lot.
Breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks will be provided during both moving days!
Here are the ways in which we could use your help:
We are currently looking for people for:
A — Packing/body doubling: Available now, Any day Monday-Thursday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
B — Friday light-duty help: labeling, directing boxes, doors, supplies, food, or cleaning
C — Saturday light-duty help: labeling, directing boxes, doors, supplies, food, or cleaning
D — Saturday loading/unloading: Starting at 10:00 a.m., lifting required
E — Pet support: Ace and Sappho have a backyard and are at the house but both are very anxious with the move. They just need someone to play with them and/or let them out back when they ask. We also need to make sure they don’t leave the house when the doors are open.
F — Food, driving, or supply runs

Please text my helper, Elly, at (984)-664-1053 by July 31st with the letter of any shift or role you plan to assist with, how likely the plan is to change, along with any lifting, accessibility, food allergies, or other limitations.
For example:
“B, confirmed, comfortable lifting up to 30 pounds. I’m allergic to nuts”
Or
"A, depending on how my next work schedule looks. Definitely D, confirmed, from noon to 4pm. I’m a vegetarian"

The exact addresses will be shared privately with confirmed helpers. It is completely okay if you cannot help — we just need clear answers so we can make a safe plan and have enough tasties on hand for everyone.
Thank you for helping us settle into our new home!
