After leaving an abusive relationship, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a teacher's aide 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 $370 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.
Thank you so much.

Shared this with my family. Love from San Nicolás de los Garza.
wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours.
Hang in there, Violet. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Halifax
Thinking of you and your family, Violet. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
Good luck, Violet. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 6 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
hope you get there. Thinking of Oakland.
Keep going, Violet. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Istanbul.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Nottingham donated after I showed her your page.
