Bruno’s New Project for OC Kids
As you already know, I am feeding 300 underprivileged children seven nights a week. I am so happy and grateful that you all have helped me continue to do that. However at 5 p.m. -- when it is time to send the kids back to motel -- I have a broken heart.
Most of these kids are going back to a motel environment that is far from safe. Not only are there drug addicts, prostitutes, and alcoholics but there are also sexual predators that live in these motels amongst our children.
I have new project in 2012. I would like to move families who qualify out of that environment, and help them start a new path for their future. I work with another great organization, The Illumination Foundation. They are helping me find families who lost their job and homes due to the economic situation. Let's give them a chance to come back into a more stable environment, a dream come true.
So far we have families from Anaheim, Placentia, Buena Park, Newport Beach, Los Alamitos, San Juan Capistrano, Tustin, Costa Mesa and Santa Ana that lived in motels and had the chance to move out into a two-or-three bedroom apartment. "It's time to stop talking about it, and to start doing something about it!"
I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. – Bruno
