Need help getting a package off my porch before the weather turns wet

[xela]

The long post I've been working on summarizing the last two months is still in the works, as I'm still on too many drugs and in too much pain to do much concentrated writing.

So for now, a plea for help.

Sweettea, the friend who's been so incredibly helpful on getting my house ready for my eventual wheelchair-bound return home, had to go out of town suddenly on account of a family emergency. Which means I would very much like to find someone who would be willing and able to drag my new mattress in from the front porch before the weather tests the waterproofness of its packaging too much.

Note that I bought a Casper, which means that there is not a mattress-shaped package on my porch. The package will be roughly 4' x 2' x 2', and will weigh around 75 lbs.

If you can help me out on this, please email me at my MIT address. We'll need to arrange a time for you to come by my rehab and pick up a copy of my house key.

Thank you,

---Alex

Two things you may already know, but should warn volunteers about.
(1) This box is too large for a person of about my physical capabilities to move alone. I can barely roll a 50 pound box of hay, and this thing is going to be heavier and more awkwardly sized. So you may need 2 people, unless the person is in very good lifting shape.
(2) If you move this box inside, it will entirely block passage, so you'll need to pick where you want to block off. If you put it inside the doorway, you won't be able to open the door, etc.
