After leaving an abusive relationship, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a call-centre agent 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 $400 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

- 2–4 months

Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Oakland.
Thanks for sharing this, Stella. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
Rooting for you, Stella. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
