After being laid off and unable to cover rent, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a retail supervisor in Dar es Salaam 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 $30 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.

This could happen to any of us. After 27 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there, Ruth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Eugene this morning.
hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
Rooting for you, Ruth. Shared this with my family.
Hope you get there. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
Stay strong, Ruth. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings
Sending strength, Ruth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Alcalá de Henares so I could bring a meal. God bless
Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Haifa donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
