🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States815 views
After my landlord selling the building, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a teacher's aide in San Jose 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 $180 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 three personal and 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope April is when things finally get easier.

Rooting for you, Maria. Hope you get there. God bless
Wishing you peace, Maria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Maria. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
sending strength, Maria. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Praying for you, Maria. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City!
keep going, Maria. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. Thinking of San Jose
