Kampala
After being laid off and unable to cover rent, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a junior accountant in Kampala and I have a steady income, but I can't find a place that will let me in without the first month, a deposit and references that I'm in the middle of replacing. I'm looking for a spare room for 2 months. I can pay $25 a month toward bills, I'm tidy and quiet, and I'd be happy to help with cooking, shopping or yard work. I have no pets, I don't smoke, and I have two work references. I understand that inviting a stranger into your home is a big step. I'd be glad to meet in a public place first and to share my work details. I hope life is good to you.

    Sending good thoughts, Barasa. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

            I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Agra donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
