Sad

last night I walked the street to the corner of town, I couldn't sleep, so I was cycling when many people were resting at home. I saw many children sleeping in front of a small shop. it broke my heart. not just 1 child, but there are dozens of the same little ones. I have a little money, I buy food and drinking water, then I go back to the sleeping children, I wake them up and we all eat together, I know they are hungry, but seeing their innocent smiles makes me happy and sad because there isn't much to do. I can give. I was like them too, although I was much luckier having a family and a home. When in a sparkling city and many beautiful things around it, other people seem to forget that in the suburbs there are still many gloomy and heart-wrenching things like the children I met last night.

My heart aches to see such a misery but I'm also helpless. I wish I had enough money to help them out.

that's what I always think about, but sometimes humanity can make me act without thinking about having money or not.

@amitkokiladitya aid is not just money. we can give them food from our homes, assistance to contact government social agencies is also important, so that they are cared for in an appropriate place

We have to experience such sad things in developed cities. No words to express my grief.

isn't that the reality of city life? not everything is sparkling, in a narrow corner there is the darkness of life.

We have a very good mayor, I've contacted security. I hope they are scouted and treated in the shelter.
