After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a hospital cleaner in Kisumu 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 2 months. I can pay $65 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.
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Nyambura. 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. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Kisumu.

Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 38 people at work. Love from Rochester
