After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a junior accountant in Jaffna 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, Kumara. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Jaffna.
sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Ho.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Stay strong, Kumara. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope things get better soon, Kumara. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours.
Good luck, Kumara. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from San Francisco
You're not alone. 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. Take care
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Envigado.
