After my landlord selling the building, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a retail supervisor in San Diego 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 4 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 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      Stay strong, Benjamin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too

        Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of San Diego.

          sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Sent it to 30 people at work. Thinking of San Diego.

            Rooting for you, Benjamin. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
