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

Tema
After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Tema, and the lease starts on Wednesday. I have two children, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for a few strong people 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
