After a sudden divorce, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a care assistant in Kolkata 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 $55 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
good luck, Shilpa. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Kolkata
This could happen to any of us. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Madrid.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Eugene so I could bring a meal. Love from San Jose.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Kolkata.
