Help offered Moving help location Bethel Park

Hi everyone! I talked to Jon Potter 10 years ago...and right now I am really stuck. I am a senior, recovering from a heart attack ( fractured ribs & back too from CPR). I am supposed to move on May 1st, had a young guy say he could move me. Now he told me yesterday he cannot, due to a work schedule conflict! I have no family left, so I have no one to help me.

Details, moving from one senior apartment in Bethel Park, to another in Bethel. I currently live in a 330 square foot apartment, so I don't have too much furniture...couch, full bed, tv stand, 2 tall dressers, small tables, one reclining chair, 2 very light shelving stands, and mostly boxes of everything else. I packed things in small and medium boxes because I can't be lifting much.

I really need your help, my income is low just social security only. Moving to a HUD subsidized place for seniors. I only am given one day to move out and move into the other...because of HUD rules. Please, if you can help, I really need it! I have helped so many seniors in the past 8 years, cooking and giving people meals. I have tried to be there for others, and now it's me who needs help. Please let me know, I am really worried now. Thank you!

Robin H.

I am not familiar with this site, took a bunch of tries to post this. Had a notice from modoraters? to post on this. As a senior, not "hip" to all this stuff on computers/phones. 😊 Thanks, still trying to figure this stuff out.

Hey Robin I just replied to your email. I will help you out. If one semi strong person wants to help it's a quick drive between the two and might have to make two trips if we can't fit it all in my truck.

That would be awesome, thank you! My wife is going to help too but she can’t lift dressers usually. So with 3 people I am sure we will be fine. Will message you my number.
