And she has no money to buy food let alone the medicine for her sickness
Like many poor seniors that AAPS surveyed

So they do not have to suffer in the final years of life
President of Adam listen to her complains and gave her some money to buy medicine

People of the slums live in these tents sourrounded by trash and electricity hazards
On average about 5-7 people live in these tents without any water supply
The younger children get sick often due to the pollution around them
Everybody in the house including children have to work so the family can eat once a day
This little girl washed dishes at a restaurant so she can bring leftover food home
This woman is another resident of the slum
She was very harsh towards the treatment they receive from police and authorities
According to her the authorities kick their tents down and kick them out anytime
She said the whole procedure is very disturbing for the kids
She said that they are living a very unfair life and nobody care about the starving children
Her younger daughter brings water for the family from the nearby mosque
That her elder brother, who has the responsibility of the whole household
Because his father can't work anymore
He told that president that he has been working since the age of 9
He barely make enough to feed the family
But hopes that time will change and his siblings won't have to face the same fate
