A spare room for 3 months: Carmela, working in Manila, between homes
After a flood that wrecked my apartment, Carmela needs a safe, quiet room in Manila for 3 months while getting back on their feet.

After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a care assistant in Manila 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 3 months. I can pay $50 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Carmela. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Kediri.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Mandaue so I could bring a meal. Take care.
