Bogotá
After leaving an abusive relationship, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a bus driver in Bogotá 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 $60 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. Thank you for reading my story.

  • Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Thessaloniki.

    • Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Gangnam

        Take care, Emiliano. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.

        • Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          • Take care, Emiliano. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Dhaka.

            • I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.

              • Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Bogotá.

                • Thinking of you, Emiliano. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Cox's Bazar.
