Need strong backs and a van: moving Gerald to safer housing

Moving day on Wednesday: we need four volunteers and ideally a van.

After my landlord sold the building, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Atlanta, and the lease starts on Wednesday. I have three kids, 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 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
