Coventry
After a house fire, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a retail supervisor in Coventry 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 $320 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

  • best of luck, Madeline. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together

      • So sorry you're going through this, Madeline. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Newcastle but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Coventry.

        • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 34 people at work

          • wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!

            • Sending good thoughts, Madeline. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.

              • Take care, Madeline. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Jeddah

                • good luck, Madeline. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
