So both of the plans I had to get a moving truck on 9/28 to help a family in Woodbridge who have a 16 year old with cancer move have fallen through. I was hoping one of you brain trust type people would have an idea. I have tried the cancer card with Uhaul and they want 3 years of tax records for StillBrave. We only have one as the organization

Have you tried any of the smaller trucking companies. There's one called "Two Guys and A Truck" in this area, for instance. A smaller privately run company might be much more willing to help out in a charity situation.

I don't have any ideas but I can donate. Paypal button?

I have not been to the store. I just called around. I wasn't planning on driving to Woodbridge until that day to get the truck. Ugh. I hate Woodbridge. I may do it this weekend, however, to try your idea!

I was going to suggest West Bros, but a) they don't run in Va, and b) they were sold to Brown Trucking a few years ago. Brown does have operations in Richmond, but I don't know that they'd be any more open to your needs as U-Haul. (can't hurt to call, 'tho) The "pods" people would be another option; they'll bring out something like a cargo container for you to fill, and then take it where ever you want it.

The pods guys are good from what I've heard but we're only going like 2 miles. And, I THINK, we have a bunch of volunteers. Just getting a truck for 4 hours would really do the trick.
