Moving day volunteers: Lauren's family relocating in Los Angeles

After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Los Angeles, 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 four volunteers 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 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
