"Within one minute of meeting Mason and seeing his genuine smile, you know that he truely has a heart of gold. On the morning of June 19, 2015, Mason was on his way in to work in Marietta Square and was struck by a train. He is currently undergoing treatment at Kennestone Hospital. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, during this critical time. Please help support Mason, with his medical bills and unforseen expenses and keep him in your prayers."
Mason works at Taqueria Tsunami, a popular restaurant on the Marietta Square. Word of his accident has spread quickly on a Facebook page for Marietta residents, many of whom have come to know and like him through their visits there.
"Mason took such great care of us at Taqueria Tsunami last weekend," resident Max Lorenz posted. "Imagine our shock when we discovered that he was the person hit by the train yesterday. Please keep him in your prayers, and help out if you can."
The Marietta Wine Market plans to donate proceeds from today's wine tasting to defray Mason's medical bills. The event is from 2 to 4 p.m.
