Willow needs a safe place to stay for 3 months

Hosting Willow would give a hardworking a hospital cleaner the stability to find a new place.

After a flood that wrecked my apartment, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a hospital cleaner in Edmonton 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 $370 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. Glad we found this place.

    so sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

      wishing you peace, Willow. Hope you get there.

        Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Essen.

          Sending good thoughts, Willow. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Mumbai.

            take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Johannesburg so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Giza.

                    rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Edmonton

                      Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. After 19 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Taguig.

                          Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
