Urgent Request for Assistance
I’m reaching out in a time of need and exploring every possible option. I’m looking for short-term accommodation for a month at most. A close friend, who was traveling back to the US with his wife and child, is currently stranded in Slough and urgently needs a place to stay on very short notice. If anyone has recommendations, whether it be charities, landlords, or any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
That sounds really tough, and I hope you find a solution quickly for your friend. Here are a few options you might consider:
Local Facebook Groups: There are often community groups where people offer short-term rentals or room shares. Try searching for groups focused on your area in Slough.
Airbnb: Although it can be pricey, Airbnb has flexible rental options that might suit your friend’s needs for a short stay.
Local Hostels: Some hostels offer private rooms and can be a good budget-friendly option for families.
Charities and Organizations: Look into local charity organizations that provide emergency housing assistance. Organizations like Crisis or Shelter may have resources or contacts that can help.
Short-term Rentals Websites: Check platforms like SpareRoom or Gumtree where landlords often list rooms or apartments available for short-term rent.
Network with Friends and Locals: Sometimes, simply asking around can lead to unexpected solutions. Maybe someone you know can offer a spare room or connect you with someone who can help.
I hope one of these options works out for your friend!
