In the shadows of a bustling city, a little girl's life is a testament to the cruelty and indifference of those who walk past her. 

With no one to rely on but herself, she must navigate a world that is filled with peril and heartbreak, where the kindness of strangers is as rare as a ray of sunshine in a storm. 
But in the midst of the darkness, she finds a glimmer of hope and determination, fueled by the strength of her own will. 


This is the story of a forgotten child, whose life on the streets is a reflection of the brokenness and injustice that lurks beneath the surface of a city that never sleeps.All Rights Reserved
