Colombo
After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a junior accountant in Colombo 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 $45 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

      this could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

        I hope things turn around soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
