I’m a 35-year-old Christian woman and homesteader who is going through one of the hardest seasons of my life. Due to a domestic situation, I left my abuser about a month and a half ago and have been living in a tent since.
I’m not staying in a tent city. I’ve intentionally kept myself away from other unhoused areas because I feel safer being on the outskirts of town. The downside is that being so far out makes it extremely difficult to access resources, transportation, work, and basic necessities — and now that the weather is getting colder, I’m reaching the point where I desperately need somewhere warm and dry to stay.
What I’m asking for is simple: I’m looking for a kind, trustworthy person or family who would be willing to let me stay in a spare room, basement room, or even a warm couch temporarily while I work toward getting completely back on my feet.
I am not looking for someone to support me indefinitely. You dont have to feed me or anything. I am just looking for someone willing to give me a chance. I will work to earn my keep. I will look for employment and contribute toward household expenses as soon as I’m able. I’m also happy to help around the house and yard to earn my keep. I’m an excellent deep cleaner, and I genuinely enjoy cooking, cleaning, organizing, gardening, and taking care of things.
I’m a born-again Christian and I take my faith seriously. I’m quiet, humble, respectful, clean, and responsible. I don’t use any drugs, I dont drink any alcohol- not even socially, or smoke cigarettes.
Some of the things I love:
• Homesteading
• Gardening
• Canning and preserving food
• Taking care of animals
• Dogs
• Hiking and being outdoors
• Woodworking and whittling
• Reading!!!! 📚
• Learning new skills
• Cooking and baking
• Church life and growing in my faith
I’m also currently a full-time online college student taking a full roster of 15 credits(5 courses), so I’m working toward building a better future for myself while trying to survive this difficult chapter.
My ultimate goal is to find a farm where I can live and work as a farm hand next summer, which is where I truly feel I belong. I would love to find a situation involving animals, gardening, homesteading, and hard work. Until I find that opportunity, I simply need somewhere safe and warm to get through the winter and stabilize my life. I am totally willing to sign something with an exit date- I dont want to overstay my welcome, ever!
I don’t have family I can turn to. I grew up in group homes as a kid, so asking for help like this is incredibly difficult for me. I’m used to figuring things out on my own since I aged out of the system, and honestly, posting this feels extremely uncomfortable.
But I’m asking anyway.
I don’t need someone to take care of me. I need someone willing to give me a safe place to sleep while I work my way back up.
At most, I’m hoping for a temporary arrangement through the winter, although I would obviously be grateful for anything someone is able and willing to offer. I will do everything I can to make sure you never regret giving me that chance.
I’m praying that God puts this post in front of the right person — someone who understands what it means to give someone a hand up when they’re struggling. Someone who believes in good people needing help too..
If you have a spare room, a basement room, or even a couch and you genuinely feel you may be able to help, please reach out. I’m happy to answer any questions, talk on the phone, meet in a public place first, provide references where possible, and discuss expectations openly.
I’m not asking for a free ride. I’m asking for a chance. I am currently in Sanford area but willing to move anywhere around Maine/NH, so long as its a safe warm place! Thank you so much for reading this... God bless..
