Could you host Beatrix? A room for 3 months

After a flood that wrecked my apartment, Beatrix needs a safe, quiet room in Durban for 4 months while getting back on their feet.

Durban
After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a bus driver in Durban 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 $45 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.

    Patient and understanding

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Quick response, great follow-up

    This is the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity. They didn't just offer help; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and followed through on every commitment.

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

    good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Durban.

    • Nathan J. Hughes

      Thinking of you, Beatrix. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier

      • Pranav K. Bhardwaj

        I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Accra.
