Hey everyone,
I’m reaching out today with some vulnerability because I’ve hit a challenging stretch and need to lean on this community.
Recently, I’ve been navigating a painful foot infection that required a doctor’s visit, lab samples, and blood work. Healing from this while continuing to manage my chronic status (HIV) has been draining, and I am currently running through a course of antibiotics to get back on my feet.
Because of the infection, I had to miss two full shifts at work. That lost time is going to hit my upcoming paycheck hard, and with rent due on the first for my place in Seminole Heights, I’m facing a direct shortfall. I expect to have about $800 left after immediate bills clear, but I need roughly $1,100 to cover rent, groceries, transit, and the remaining medical expenses.
If you find value in the words I share and have the means to help, buying a "coffee" would make a world of difference right now. Every single contribution goes straight toward covering these essentials, bridging the gap so I can ease the financial stress and focus my energy on healing.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for holding space for my reality. Whether it’s a coffee, a word of encouragement, or simply sharing this post, your support keeps my pen moving and my spirit grounded.
Much gratitude,
Adontai Mason
