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.
