After leaving an abusive relationship, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a line cook in Duisburg 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 $230 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

rooting for you, Renate. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending strength, Renate. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
