After being laid off and unable to cover rent, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a bus driver in Los Angeles 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 $350 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Lillian. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 7 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care

Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.

Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
