The Power of Photos: Boy's Life Changes After He's Pictured Doing Homework Outside McDonald's

Two photos of a boy doing his homework under the light of a McDonald’s in the Philippines have gone viral and inspired an outpouring of donations and support for the third-grader’s struggling family.

Joyce Gilos Torrefranca, a student in Mandaue City, spotted the young boy recently and says the significance of the moment struck her. “For me as a student, it just hit me a lot, like big time,“ she told ABS-CBN News. "I seldom go to coffee shops to study. And then this kid, he doesn’t have anything but he has dedication to study.”

1. All the people that are helping is wonderful

But so sad that so many people have to live in poverty all over the world. I have visited many developing countries and the kids really break your heart.

2. Buy one light -- 3 more go to kids like this

Solar to battery to LED charity for Africa and other impoverished areas. These lights avoid the fires associated with kerosene lamps.

4. As Long As Billionaires and Major Corporation Get Tax Breaks And Trade Deals

They need those tax breaks more than children like this, right?

So much in the world today is just so grossly unfair.

6. The attempted solution to all the injustice is called "Socialism".

And it's worth fighting for.

5. What's frustrating is that so many people seem incapable of imagining others having to live like

this. They don't understand until they see a photo, and then it's only that one instance.

7. That "so many people" is a very small minority

of the seven thousand million, and growing, global population, you of course realise.

8. They love drug testing the poor and taking away their FS.

And telling them what they can or can not eat, like lobster and steak etc.

Who thinks like that...THE RICH...that's who!

9. I would like the people who start unnecessary wars and crash the economy drug tested, please

yes indeed
