Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i can cook, i can clean, do laundry, dishes, babysit, animal care, i can help with pretty much anything, i can listen to problems and concerns and do what i can to give advice or help resolve problems.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have never used this site before and have never couch surfed. i have only spent the night with friends before. i've lived in portland all my life and stayed with a friend in ashland for one month.i love ashland and would very much love to live there and start a healthy life with my son. however before i am able to afford a place of my own i need to find a job. i have a babysitter there and a few resources and i do have income.i'm living off 440 amonth from TANF and 280 for foodstamps i can afford to pay some rent if asked for. the last 6 yearsofmy life have been spent supporting those in need and helping ppl with a place to stay. i have been screwed over countless times but everyone deserves atleast one chance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the most amasing thing that ever happened to me: last year i had a friend who i had known for years who came to me looking for a place to stay for the night.i let him stay with me for a week i let him shower i took him out to eat with me and even gave him my bed while i slept on my couchbefore he left he stole from meand left while i was in the shower. he stole all my tattoo equipment i didn't know what to do, i couldn't believe he could do that to me i had almost lost all hope in people all together. but then i got a call 3 days latter from a stranger telling me someone just sold him all this tattoo equipment his friend had recognized the stuff from when i gave him a tattoo two weeks before (what were the chances) i told him how it was stolen from me by a guy named (he who will not be named) and the guy agreed to meet up with me and he gave me all of it back with no charge. i ended up losing a friend who unded up being a scum bag and found a friend who was willing to help me when he didn't even know me.
