Leonardo “BRlk” Kuhn is an 18-year-old who streams in order to raise money to support his family.

This teenager lost his father at the tender age of two, but his mother shielded him from this fact until he was five.

Streaming is what he has always wanted to do

Leonardo has always wanted to become a streamer. In a household with pretty limited resources, it was his grandmother who eventually bought him a new PC. And thus started a new struggle. Inspired by Roberto “Sparda” Nascimento, who raises money for his sister’s healthcare, BRlk wanted to achieve the same.

“In the beginning, they made fakes donations, donated and then reversed, but I never gave up”, he told theenemy.com.br in an interview.
