I'm Bernardo Pracidelle, a Brazilian teenager who grew up in São Paulo before moving to Miami after the COVID-19 pandemic. From a young age, I’ve believed in the power of community and the importance of helping those around me. Seeing the struggles of people in my new city, I felt a deep responsibility to take action. That’s why I started Blanket the Streets—to provide warmth, care, and support to those in need. My goal, along with all the people who make this operation possible, is to make a meaningful impact, one act of kindness at a time.
