After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a call-centre agent in London 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 $270 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care!

    • Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Aurangabad.

      • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 26 people at work. Thinking of London

        • sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of London
