After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a teacher's aide in George 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 $100 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Pattaya.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. God bless
you're not alone, Hlengiwe. I hope things turn around soon. After 16 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Take care, Hlengiwe. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
