Help a family move in Yonkers - 4-hour job

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

Yonkers
After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Yonkers, and the lease starts on Tuesday. I have three kids, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for anyone with a van 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 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Badagry donated after I showed her your page.
