Help Alexandra move out of an unsafe apartment this Sunday

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

After a break-in at the old place, I found a safe, affordable apartment in San Jose, and the lease starts on Sunday. I have my elderly father, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for 3-4 helpers 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 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
