Help Atim move out of an unsafe apartment this Saturday

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

Machakos
After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Machakos, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have my elderly father, 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 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. Thank you so much.
