A turning point in Alvinho's life: boy leaves shelter with his mother and gets scholarship to return to school

Alvinho, 10, and his mother Priscila, 42, left on Sunday morning the municipal shelter where they had been living since the beginning of June. The two headed to Cabo Frio, in the Lagos Region, where the boy will finish the school year.

Priscila said that Legacy School, the school where Alvinho was enrolled at the beginning of the year, granted a new full scholarship for the boy. The benefit had been obtained earlier through the local shelter director, before they came to Rio.

However, Alvinho was forced to drop out of school due to Priscila's health condition. A person committed to paying the rent for a property for the two in Cabo Frio until the end of the year.

At the same time, mother and son are choosing a new property to buy in the North Zone of Rio.

Why this matters

The family leaves the municipal shelter after months of housing vulnerability, with the guarantee of a school scholarship and housing support, representing a significant change in the situation of the boy and his mother who had been without fixed housing since June. Readers in the region follow stories of overcoming like this that directly affect families experiencing homelessness.
