Moving day volunteers: Walker's family relocating in Bronx
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Bronx.
🇺🇸 Bronx, New York, United States1,425 views
After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Bronx, and the lease starts on Tuesday. I have my elderly father, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for 3-4 helpers 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 third floor with no elevator 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
