Moving day volunteers: Paolo's family relocating in Padua

Paolo has found a safe new apartment in Padua and needs help moving heavy furniture on Sunday.

After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Padua, and the lease starts on Sunday. I have a teenager and a toddler, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for four volunteers 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 third floor with no elevator 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
