To be hired
It all started when Bruno was hired to replace a sick colleague. He quickly found a place in the hearts of his students, but payment for his work was not received due to bureaucratic delays. Despite months of effort, no salary came. After two months of hard work, he was told he would have to wait another month for his first payment. This situation left Bruno in financial trouble and he was forced to spend the night at school.
His situation became even more critical when he learned that, despite all the help he had already received, he would have to wait another month for his wages. This was a time of intense despair and uncertainty. But in these dark times, one came ray of hope from an unexpected source: his students.
A gift that comes straight from the heart
Then be pupils When they found out about his situation, they decided to collude. They organized a lottery and within four days they had sold all the tickets. They raised an amount of 400 Brazilian reais, which amounts to about two-thirds of his salary. They surprised Bruno by placing the money in a box on his desk, resulting in a touching moment.
The students' gesture was not just a financial contribution; it was a heartwarming message of solidarity, respect and appreciation. It touched Bruno deeply, so deeply that he couldn't help but burst into tears.
He said:
“I felt so protected by the students I love. This day changed my life.”
New start
This moment marked a turning point in Bruno's life. The warmth and support of his students gave him the confidence he needed to continue.
“They are the force in the world I want to see”, he said.
"I love teaching, it's a part of me – I didn't want to be anything else in life but that, a teacher.”
Bruno was so inspired by this experience that he created a GoFundMe campaign with the hope of receiving even more financial support to continue his teaching career.
A ray of hope in the darkness
