Newport
After a sudden divorce, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a bus driver in Newport 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 $280 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Take care. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

    • Keep going, Scarlett. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Multan.

      • Sending love, Scarlett. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Stellenbosch.

        • Hope it all works out. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. All the best

          • You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Addis Ababa but we're thinking of you.

            • Thinking of you, Scarlett. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best!

              • Wishing you the best, Scarlett. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!

                • Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Buenos Aires donated after I showed her your page

                  • Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Newport
