Birmingham
After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a teacher's aide in Birmingham 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 $155 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.

  • Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 8 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Caloocan.

    • Hang in there, Ruby. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Takoradi this morning. Take care.

      • sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together!

        • Thinking of you and your family, Ruby. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
