After being laid off and unable to cover rent, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a teacher's aide in Jakarta Selatan 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 $45 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 a landlord and employer 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

- 2–4 months

Hang in there, Mega. Hope this works out for you. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from San Francisco.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 26 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Mega. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from San Francisco.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Stay strong, Mega. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Athens so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Jacksonville
Thanks for sharing this, Mega. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Istanbul this morning.
Thinking of you, Mega. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Hang in there, Mega. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending good thoughts, Mega. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
