The street kids in Quito were especially sad. This little one had a twisted spine and no right arm. She was alone on the street for most of the day.
There is no social network for the poor and homeless in Ecuador.

A tough one. We live such a protected life in this country by comparison.

Tears your heart out. I don't know that I could handle being there and seeing it...

God bless this little one...

Fine photography, Sandy. And quite a statement about one of the facets of human nature and culture...

I'll bet seeing her made you want to pick her up and hug her.
So sad. She needs our prayers.
