After leaving an abusive relationship, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a care assistant in Austin 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 $200 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 three personal and 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 2–4 months

Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 5 people at work.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Greetings from Cebu City.
Hang in there, Tong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Gaziantep so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Austin
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
So sorry you're going through this, Tong. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Toledo.

Sending strength, Tong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

Hope things get better soon, Tong. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Houston
