Hi, I'm Adontai 👋
Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. I'm currently experiencing homelessness in St. Petersburg, Florida, and I'm working every day to rebuild my life and get back on my feet.
My Current Situation
Right now, I'm staying at a Salvation Army shelter while actively job searching and working with recruiters. I have potential opportunities with three positions at two different companies, and I'm doing everything I can to secure stable employment.
The biggest challenge is managing daily needs without income while trying to stay presentable and ready for opportunities that come my way.
