Johannesburg
After a sudden divorce, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a care assistant in Johannesburg 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 $65 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.

          Sending good thoughts, Lerato. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Take care.

            Sending love, Lerato. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
