After leaving an abusive relationship, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a care assistant in Kingston 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 $80 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 a landlord and employer 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Hang in there, Novelette. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.

    • Sending strength, Novelette. Hope you get there. Love from Shreveport.

      • shared it with a few friends. Love from Cairo

        • take care, Novelette. 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.

          • Good luck, Novelette. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 36 people at work. Greetings from Casablanca

            • Wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Manila so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

              • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

                • Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

                  • Stay strong, Novelette. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.

                      thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best

                        I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Kingston.

                          Wishing you the best, Novelette. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
