Rochester
After a house fire, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a teacher's aide in Rochester 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 $280 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 three personal and 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.

          so sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 24 people at work.

              Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 21 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Yonkers
