A spare room for 3 months: Udara, working in Colombo, between homes

After a flood that wrecked my apartment, Udara needs a safe, quiet room in Colombo for 3 months while getting back on their feet.

Colombo
After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a junior accountant in Colombo 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 $25 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. Thank you so much.

    So sorry you're going through this, Udara. 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. Greetings from London.

      Hope it all works out, Udara. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Glasgow.

        looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Adama
