Community commitment led by Chris Ehret

Founder Chris Ehret built Moving Forward to New Beginnings after seeing how urgently families in Red Deer needed safe, discreet help leaving dangerous situations. Local coverage from rdnewsNOW and Alignable highlights how every series of paid moves funds a free “rescue move” for a survivor. Our crew also delivers donated furniture to people starting over—families escaping domestic violence, newcomers, and neighbours rebuilding after hardship. When you book a move, you keep that lifeline running.
