Help Fiona move out of an unsafe apartment this Friday

Fiona has found a safe new apartment in Johannesburg and needs help moving heavy furniture on Friday.

After a break-in at the old place, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Johannesburg, and the lease starts on Friday. 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 four hours. If you have a van or pickup, that would help enormously - I'll cover fuel. The old place is on the third floor with no elevator 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. Glad we found this place.
