After my landlord sold the building, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Los Angeles, and the lease starts on Tuesday. I have a teenager and a toddler, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for 3-4 helpers for about five 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, María. Your post was clear and honest. All the best!
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Aurangabad
