After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a retail supervisor in Cape Town 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 $75 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.

sending good thoughts, Ruan. This could happen to any of us
Thinking of you and your family, Ruan. I hope things turn around soon.
Take care, Ruan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours.
Good luck, Ruan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
