Precious needs a safe place to stay for 3 months
After a house fire, Precious needs a safe, quiet room in Ekurhuleni for 3 months while getting back on their feet.
🇿🇦 Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa162 views
After a house fire, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a call-centre agent in Ekurhuleni 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 $60 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thanks for sharing this, Precious. Hope you get there. I hope September is when things finally get easier
sending love, Precious. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 12 people at work. Love from Rawalpindi!
Take care, Precious. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Monterrey but we're thinking of you. God bless.
