The 10-year-old boy Adriano Álvaro Melo, with high abilities, is living in a municipal shelter after losing the apartment where he lived with his mother, Priscila de Melo. The mother was diagnosed with drug-resistant tuberculosis at the end of last year, which worsened the family's situation.
The story was shown by GLOBO this Monday and touched many people. A solidarity network began to form to help the boy and his mother, who provided a Pix key in the boy's name to receive donations (19252032711, Banco do Brasil).
On social media, many netizens expressed interest in creating a crowdfunding campaign to help the little genius. The mother said she was contacted by people interested in making donations.
The first international help offer came from a Brazilian woman living in Switzerland, who made a donation of R$ 2 thousand and committed to continuing to help.
