Help Uğur move out of an unsafe apartment this Tuesday

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

İzmir
After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in İzmir, and the lease starts on Tuesday. I have two children, 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 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. I hope life is good to you.
