A spare room for 3 months: Josiah, working in Oakland, between homes
Hosting Josiah would give a hardworking a junior accountant the stability to find a new place.
🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States557 views
After leaving an abusive relationship, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a junior accountant in Oakland 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 $170 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

keep going, Josiah. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from San Diego
Stay strong, Josiah. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 11 people at work. Thinking of Oakland!
