Need strong backs and a van: moving Josiane 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 Ottawa, 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 three 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
