After leaving an abusive relationship, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a line cook in St. Petersburg 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 $310 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 two 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. Glad we found this place.

                                • Wishing you peace, Harold. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from New Delhi.

                                  • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Buenos Aires so I could bring a meal.
