No child should have to miss out on his innocent years without his family.

[minaly]

At his age, he shouldn’t have to worry about his parents, heartbreaking

[susanivy]

He's not just smart, he has emotional intelligence beyond his years.

[racher]

Jesus Christ this just wrecks me. He's not bitter, just living everyday worried to death about his folks. Keep your chin up dude, i wish i could help you.

[ShirazHansen]

"He will become successful some day."
I say he's already successful as a human being.

This kid is so mature for his age. My heart breaks when he tried to hold back his tears by tilting his head upwards and his watery eyes were looking up hoping those heavy tears wont fall. You can tell he misses his parents so much and his heart aches for them Alot and i mean alot.

[samiyaaftab]

Having this much emotional intelligence at this age is amazing not a lot of grown ups have the same . Wish this boy happy life

[Phoenix-gdxw]

The struggle his family faces has made him mature beyond his years. He speaks like an adult already. But those tears were heartbreaking 😭

[bilingualpufferfish]

He is proud of his parents, not because of the money but because how hard they work. If you have money does not mean you get 3 hours of sleep and do an extremely laborious job.

[koumoriarts]

Life truly isn’t fair, bless this kid and his family.

[nlohia]

Such a beautiful child. My Heart goes out to him and his parents.

[olajumokeoladibu]

I cried with him.
It's so hard not to.
Such a lovely, selfless child.
Life taught him and ripened him too early.
My heart goes to him and I pray his family will be out of this burden soon.

"Dont not eat just to save money" Is how you know a family is truly struggling. The boy is very wise

[sunshine]

The truth is hard. Poverty is everywhere and parents will do anything for their kids to make sure they can have an education.

[ewrstmz]

That’s a younger me. I couldn’t wait to grow up so I could support my parents. Keep going kids you have the right mindset already

[Nyitzz]

He'll grow as a fine man who cares for his parents, his family, his community, and his country..

[jervangelane]

No people should ever ridicule this chid nor his parents with the most humble and honorable job they have for this child's future

[pasangafavmsq]

Hope the world not continue harsh to him. Thoughtful kid.

[hopepeace]

It goes to show that children value the happiness and health of their parents more than the money they provide

[personofculture]

This boy is so strong that even tho he cries he still manages to smile, something that may take a life time to do. Smile's despite the pain.
