Help Genesis move out of an unsafe apartment this Monday

Moving day on Monday: we need a few strong people and ideally a van.

After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Springfield, and the lease starts on Monday. I have a teenager and a toddler, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for a few strong people for about three 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 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 hope life is good to you.

                          Hang in there, Genesis. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Oakland
