Then, he started drinking alcohol to feel better. But that made things worse. Malcolm felt lonely. He said, "I used to go to empty houses and hide in there during the day and only come out at night. Basically, you feel as though you're nobody."


Malcolm spent time in prison, too. One day, an officer told him about someone who could help him. Soon, Malcolm lived with three other young men. They had a small apartment. He learned to take care of himself. Malcolm is lucky. Many others in Brazil still need help.
