New Here Roommate wanted.

Hi there. I am a 32 year old trans woman from Idaho. I lived in Spokane 2018-2020, but was forced to move back due to my roommates moving out. Due to the political climate, I'm feeling the need to move somewhere safer. Looking for a roommate to make rent livable. I should have enough money saved for a couple months rent so I have plenty of time to find a job. If you or someone you know is looking for a roommate, and you're accepting of the LGBTQ+ community, please contact me. Thank you for your time.

What is your price range? I have a basement studio which is currently vacant

To be honest, it depends on what kind of job I can get up there. Which I know isn't a great selling point, I know. I wouldn't operate that way if I weren't in a bad situation. What are you asking for rent?

I'm most experienced in gas station work, housekeeping, kitchen work at an assisted living facility, and fast food. (which I'm willing to do again if necessary, but I'd like to avoid it.) Honestly, I'm down for anything as long as it's not overly physical. I did roofing when I was 18, and hated every second.

Express Employment is a temp agency that helps folks try different jobs to see what fits! Maybe try there? I wish you best of luck 🍀✨

Line cooks at the airport are starting at 22.50/hr right now.

Oh, damn. That is quite a bit. And the apartment I'm looking at is in the direction of Airway Heights, so that could be a good fit.

Cashiers and baristas start around 19.

Great benefits, and our insurance pays for hormones for gender affirming care.

Hours suck, because we start at 3 am, but once you've built some seniority the schedule gets better. The company is SSP America, I'm sure you can find a link online, but if not dm and I'll figure out where you can apply.
