In an ideal world, children live stress-free. Children who are privileged enough to have parents’ to provide for them receive a decent education, eat healthy foods and sleep comfortably in their home.

However, we live in a world where imperfections can be found at every corner of life and each person has and will struggle at some point. Some individuals struggle from an early age like impoverished children.
