Help a family move in Grand Rapids - 4-hour job

A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Grand Rapids.

Grand Rapids
After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Grand Rapids, and the lease starts on Tuesday. I have three kids, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for four volunteers for about five hours. If you have a van or pickup, that would help enormously - I'll cover fuel. The old place is on the second floor 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
