“Now that’s my kind of immigrant! That and my parents, of course...”

Yep, Bruno is the real deal. You can’t help but admire the man. He’s in the running for CCN’s “hero of the year” and if he wins he gets $250,000. You can vote for him here if you want:

If he wins his plan is to use the money to help the motel families move out of the motels and into apartments. The “first and last month” payment is often what keeps them stuck in the motels, it’s around $5,000 here and it’s more than they can manage to save.

Bruno will use the $250k to pay the first and last for them. The families have to have been in the motels for a year and the parents have to be employed. He’s not going to waste the money on scammers.

Not GGG related but maybe something the list might enjoy.

Then he'll do a better job than government programs, which get scammed every day. Local charities have an eye on who gets their money, and they're much more careful to see it goes only to those who really need it.
