Help Shirley move out of an unsafe apartment this Thursday

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

After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Chicago, and the lease starts on Thursday. I have my elderly father, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for a few strong people 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 second floor 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

            Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
