Soweto
After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a call-centre agent in Soweto 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 $95 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.

    Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care

      wishing you the best, Karin. I hope things turn around soon.
