After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a call-centre agent in St. Petersburg 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 $200 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      so sorry you're going through this, Carter. I hope things turn around soon.

      • Stay strong, Carter. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from San Jose!

          Hope this works out for you. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

          • I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Antalya but we're thinking of you.

            • So sorry you're going through this, Carter. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care

              • Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from New Delhi.

                • You're not alone, Carter. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 8 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of St. Petersburg.

                  • Sending love, Carter. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Casablanca.
