The Situation:I just secured full-time work in Tampa starting November 3rd! It's customer service helping people with Medicare, plus a part-time position—4 days of work per week total.
But right now? I'm in transition. Left my previous situation quickly, came to Tampa with one outfit and my camera bag. I'm figuring out housing and food day by day until that first paycheck arrives.
What I'm Asking For:
☕ $100 on Buy Me a Coffee (buymeacoffee.com/adontaimason) would cover my Google Fi phone bill ($95 + small fees) due around the 17th. This phone keeps me connected to caseworkers, services, job opportunities, and support.
Your help right now bridges the gap to November 3rd when I start earning. I've already reconnected with caseworkers about housing assistance programs and getting food stamps restored.
Other Ways to Help:
Venmo: @adontaimason
PayPal: paypal.me/adontai
Also grateful for:
YMCA membership support (~$50) for shower/facilities access
Food money for essentials
Clothing donations (seriously down to one outfit)
This is temporary. Once I start work November 3rd, I'll be back on my feet. This is part of my recovery and rebuilding process, and your support means everything.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Every coffee, every share, every bit of support helps get me to that start date.
With gratitude,
Adontai Mason
