After being laid off and unable to cover rent, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a call-centre agent in São Paulo 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 $85 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 for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Surrey
Take care, Lucas. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Belo Horizonte.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Tema donated after I showed her your page
Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Rohini this morning. Greetings from Rohini.
Shared it with a few friends. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Lucas. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Leeds
Praying for you, Lucas. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 27 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of São Paulo.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Nsukka.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us
