destroyed by fire, with a widowed mother and a sick sibling, he was
determined to finish his education. Good boy!

old homeless boy spotted doing his homework in the street by the light of a
McDonald's restaurant has gone viral.
The photo was taken outside
a branch of McDonald's in the Filipino capital Manila by student Joyce
Torrefranca who snap the photo of Daniel Cabrera told CBS.
"For me as a student,
it just hit me a lot, like big time.
"I seldom go to coffee
shops to study. And then this kid, he doesn't have anything but he has
dedication to study."
Every night, Daniel, who is
a Grade three student, patiently studies under the lights of the fast food
chain branch. He said despite their current situation, he is determined to
finish his studies to be able to help his family.

child. He is also intelligent and actually answers during class discussion, he
really participates.
The local social welfare
