After being laid off and unable to cover rent, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a line cook 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 4 months. I can pay $40 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 a landlord and employer 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.

Keep going, Karin. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Pietermaritzburg.
Thinking of you and your family, Karin. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in San Francisco donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Pietermaritzburg!
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Seattle donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Karin. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Karin. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
