After a sudden divorce, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a retail supervisor in Birmingham 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 $165 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • keep going, Carter. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

    • Sending love, Carter. Shared it with a few friends

      • Take care, Carter. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

        • You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Birmingham.

            It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 16 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Jaffna.

            • Hang in there, Carter. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up

              • so sorry you're going through this, Carter. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Mardan so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Patras.

                • keep going, Carter. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

                  • Best of luck, Carter. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

                    • Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Birmingham

                      • So sorry you're going through this, Carter. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless.
