After leaving an abusive relationship, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a line cook in Bakersfield 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 $340 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Take care, Charlotte. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 7 people at work.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Charlotte. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Lyon
