She reached out and touched the child's dirty hair softly. Their head jerked up and she found herself staring into the greenest eyes that she had ever seen. They were staring back at her, wide with fear.

In that instant, she felt something shift. She knew right then and there that nothing would stop her from helping this little one. She ran her fingers through their crusty hair and wondered again how a child could just be all alone like this.
