London
After a house fire, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a call-centre agent in London 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 $280 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Hope it all works out, Isla. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

      Thinking of you and your family, Isla. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Kampala but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Kampala.

      • Thinking of you and your family, Isla. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

        • Sending strength, Isla. Shared this with my family.

          • keep going, Isla. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of London
