Oakland
After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a hospital cleaner in Oakland 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 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.

    Best of luck, Susana. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Oakland.

        Good luck, Susana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

          Thanks for sharing this, Susana. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. All the best

            Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Oakland.

                    Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Oakland.

                      Hope things get better soon, Susana. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
