Need strong backs and a van: moving Madelyn to safer housing
A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in San Jose.

After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in San Jose, and the lease starts on Thursday. I have three kids, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers.
I'm hoping for four volunteers 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

good luck, Madelyn. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of San Jose
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. After 29 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
