🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States1,486 views
After leaving an abusive relationship, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a care assistant in Oakland 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 2 months. I can pay $340 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.

Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless!

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Lagos.
Stay strong, Andrew. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you the best, Andrew. Hope you get there. Blessings.
