After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a call-centre agent in San Jose 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 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of San Jose
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of San Jose
so sorry you're going through this, Lauren. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 19 people at work. Thinking of San Jose
Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Moscow.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Busan but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you peace, Lauren. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
