After a house fire, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a call-centre agent in Kinondoni 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Ouma. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Springfield.
Take care, Ouma. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Rotterdam this morning
