Pietermaritzburg
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. 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
