After my landlord selling the building, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a line cook in Addis Ababa 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 $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.

Hope it all works out, Eleni. 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
Sending strength, Eleni. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
sending love. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Belo Horizonte.
Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Mapo.
you're not alone, Eleni. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
