Default Six Year Old Kid Lives Alone

ORIGINAL STORY

TL;DR version (read the full story if you can):

His parents died of AIDS and he has HIV so no body else wants anything to do with him. His only friend is his dog. This boy gathers firewood, cooks, baths and studies for himself.



When you think you have it bad, think again and think about kids like him who have it even worse.

Figured I'd share something that I came across I felt would be important for others to see.

Very sad, indeed.

This kid's life must make the impoverished American families' lives look 100x better.
