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

A short, concrete way to help: a few hours of lifting and loading in Amsterdam.

Amsterdam
After a break-in at the old place, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Amsterdam, and the lease starts on Tuesday. I have my elderly father, 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 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.

    Really cared about my situation

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
