After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a bus driver in Cork 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 $290 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.

            Rooting for you, Oisin. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Pune.

                      Thanks for sharing this, Oisin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                      • Hope things get better soon, Oisin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

                          Hang in there, Oisin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings

                            keep going. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
