Moving day volunteers: Marilyn's family relocating in Aurora

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

Aurora
After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Aurora, and the lease starts on Sunday. I have my elderly father, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for 3-4 helpers 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 third floor with no elevator 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 35 people at work. Take care.

      You're not alone, Marilyn. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.

          I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
