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

After a break-in at the old place, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Chennai, and the lease starts on Wednesday. I have two children, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for 3-4 helpers 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 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. Thank you so much.
