Description
She is 12
She is lost and alone
one of the nameless ones - the street is her home
She begs for money but any money she gets will only go towards satisfying the immediate hunger that lives within her be it food or drugs
It will never satisfy the deep and unvoiced hunger she has that consumes her and drove her to where she is today
The hunger for protection, security and love
As you surround yourselves with your loved ones or wrap gifts for your children remember her and those like her who will have nothing and no one
Keep thinking and feeling and never forget
Chris :o)

This is my 600th post and not what I intended to create but after a fight with my stubborn willful daughter (lol like arguing with myself) and hearing the advertisement for the Christmas wishing tree (for donating gifts to children who won't get any otherwise) this is the image that happened
Its a wonderful thought and a wonderful image, dear. Congrats on your 600th! :)
Really makes you think. 600...WOW....congrats. hugs ^_^
An awesome post for your 600th image Chris! Congratulations :o) and yes - we who have it so good should be grateful for what we have - for who knows how long it will last and when it may all be taken away! Our daily worries and concerns are often as nothing compared to the problems others have. WTG
Congrats Chris on your 600th!!!Excellent and Vote!!!
Wonderful image, you're right, we must not forget. V
Beautiful image. The pose is magnificent, the lights as they ought to be for the situation, and her expression is characteristic of her mood. Bravo!
Very deep and meaningul words. Art exists for beauty, but sometimes it needs to remind us about life and its hardships. I hope everyone's families are blessed this year and the hard times are few and far between.
Oh, yeah.. peace love and happiness as long as you have the money for it.. Christmas - BLAH! Call me a Grinch, I dont care, there is too much suffering and heartache at this time of year for those who need the happiness.
Amazing render.. is so much emotion in it.
arnt children amazing love put here to remind you just how you scrwed up, but determined to repeat your past no matter how hard we yell..just know we can cushion the blow becouse we know how and where they will fall cause we've done it before...on the sad note who catches the little lost ones when its 3 degrees outside keep them in your prayers if you cant feed them your self ,((a stunning 600th well felt and created))
Very powerful image!
Great lighting and pose. Beautiful and emotional render. Excellent work :D
A very touching and thought provoking render. Excellent
A poignant and emotional render for your 600th post hun - a truly serious problem that we should all think about this Xmas season and every day of the year.
So Expressive and true!!!! Awesome work and dedication to those in need!!!!! ((((((((((((((( Huge Vote ))))))))))
Amazing, thoughtful work! It's pretty sad, indeed, when someone has to literally 'beg' for help. And, even sadder, when it is seen and brushed aside. SIGH. SMILIN' but cryin' at the same time. T.P.
As a social worker I am painfully aware of how much we need to do for our own people, specially the young, here in our country. Yet it seems there is never enough money to get it done, but there is always money to care for others in other contries and for war. Common sense, take care of your own first!
Very moving render...one of the local Seattle papers did a major story on teenage prostitution...it's heart breaking...big vote...
