After a house fire, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a hospital cleaner in Ikeja 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 $30 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this, Damilola. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Riverside.
Hope things get better soon, Damilola. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Thane donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Hang in there, Damilola. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
