After my landlord selling the building, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a retail supervisor in Pietermaritzburg 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 $85 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family, Brett. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 9 people at work. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Brett. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Ibadan
Thinking of you and your family, Brett. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
sending strength. Hope you get there. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Pietermaritzburg.
Hope it all works out, Brett. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 11 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you, Brett. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings
Hope you get there. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Pietermaritzburg.
So sorry you're going through this, Brett. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care
