What began as a photographic census of New York City is turning into a means for spreading kindness across the globe.
Proof of that is the latest story from photographer Brandon Stanton's Humans of New York (HONY) project. Thanks to Stanton, Facebook, and the generosity of strangers, a little boy in Ethiopia may be getting adopted.
On Tuesday, Stanton posted a photograph of a cameraman named Duane. According to a HONY Facebook post, Duane and his wife had been unable to conceive, and had recently decided to adopt a 7-year-old Ethiopian girl named Chaltu who'd been blinded in one eye.
When Stanton asked if he could share Duane's story on HONY, the cameraman shyly made one request.
"Would there be any possibility that you could help us raise the adoption fees to get her a brother?" Stanton says Duane asked. "We've already found him, but aren't financially ready yet."
