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

Moving day on Friday: we need anyone with a van and ideally a van.

After mold in the old building became a health issue for my child, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Mobile, and the lease starts on Friday. I have my elderly father, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for anyone with a van 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 fourth floor walk-up 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.
