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

After the rent increase, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Scranton, and the lease starts on Saturday. I have three kids, 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 second floor and the new place has just one flight of stairs. 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.

Keep going, Rani. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Pune this morning.
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Take care, Rani. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Love from Newcastle upon Tyne
Best of luck, Rani. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Scranton.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending strength, Rani. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Scranton.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Scranton
Thinking of you, Rani. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.

Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Keep going, Rani. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
wishing you peace, Rani. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
