If you think your life is hard, think of this boy who sells food every night after school just to survive.

While other children are resting, playing, or finishing homework at home, he stands under dim street lights, helping his family earn enough for basic necessities. His small hands carry big responsibilities — responsibilities far beyond his age.

And his story is not isolated.

Across many vulnerable communities, countless children work after school to support their families. They balance textbooks with trays of food, homework with long hours, childhood dreams with adult burdens.

Their resilience is deeply inspiring — but it also sheds light on the quiet struggles that often go unnoticed.

Behind every late-night street stall could be a child sacrificing comfort, rest, and sometimes even education, simply to survive.

It’s a reminder that strength can grow in the hardest places — but no child should have to carry the weight of survival alone.
