Amsterdam
After a sudden divorce, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a teacher's aide in Amsterdam 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 $260 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.

          sending good thoughts, Gerrit. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Wrocław so I could bring a meal.
