After being laid off and unable to cover rent, 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 $65 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.

    take care, Cecilia. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

    • Pratik A. Chauhan

      Stay strong, Cecilia. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

      • Pooja M. Rathore

        thinking of you and your family, Cecilia. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
