Short-term room wanted: Russell in Manukau
After a sudden divorce, Russell needs a safe, quiet room in Manukau for 2 months while getting back on their feet.
🇳🇿 Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand136 views
After a sudden divorce, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a hospital cleaner in Manukau 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 $220 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 three personal and 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

stay strong, Russell. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 8 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
hang in there. Hope this works out for you. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Faisalabad.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
praying for you, Russell. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Shinjuku.
Rooting for you, Russell. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Kelowna but we're thinking of you. Take care.
