This Pakistani mother’s story proves that social media isn’t just a bitter, troll-infested place but also one of warmth and kindness. In her heart wrenching post she talks about being ill and wanting to give her daughter up for adoption. The Humans of New York Facebook page has been sharing many stories about the people of Pakistan for a while now. However, none of those featured have received as much love and support as this mother, seeking help for herself and her daughter after getting out of an abusive relationship.

In a post on August 13, a woman from Lahore, Pakistan featured on HONY describing her life after getting out of an abusive relationship.

The post was quickly followed by another, this one about a kind gentleman trying to help her out.

Humans of New York eventually tracked her down and have now set out to transform her life. “Thanks everyone. Based on the outpouring of offers and support from yesterday, hopefully we can help her heal and get back on her feet,” they say on Facebook.
