Moving day volunteers: Eva's family relocating in Bakersfield

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

Bakersfield
After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Bakersfield, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have two children, 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 a ground-floor entrance. 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.
