Contagem
After leaving an abusive relationship, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a line cook in Contagem 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 $60 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.

    Take care. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal

      Sending love, Gustavo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

        Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
