This photo shows how poor this mother is with no housing or food for her baby. This women look really tried and cold. This is really sad.

This photo is really sad because I feel bad for this three little boys who are sleeping on the street and cold at night. 

This photo truly shows how poor they are. There is probably like 8 people living in a small tenement with no windows or anything. It looks like they don't feel comfortable.
