Madina
After being laid off and unable to cover rent, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a line cook in Madina 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 3 months. I can pay $25 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.

  • You're not alone, Efua. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

    • Sending good thoughts, Efua. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

      • Thanks for sharing this, Efua. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

        • Good luck, Efua. Hope you get there. Love from Nagpur.

          • Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. 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. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

              • Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Thane.

                • wishing you the best, Efua. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
