This Homeless Little Boy Uses Light From McDonald’s To Do Homework

Photos of a 9-year-old boy in the Philippines got a lot of attention recently as he was being shown sitting outside of a McDonald’s, using the restaurant’s light to do his school work.

According to ABS-CBN, the boy’s name is Daniel Cabrera and his mother works at the pictured McDonald’s.

The family lost their home in a fire and since third grade, this kid has spent nights outside of the McDonald’s, putting his work on a sidewalk bench, making sure his assignments get done.

The photos were taken by Joyce Torrefranca and posted to her Facebook account June 23.

Since then, the photo was shared like crazy and got enough attention that Daniel was given scholarship opportunities and support from Philippine politicians.

It’s a nice story, but if McDonald’s was really dope, they would have let him do his homework inside the restaurant. It doesn’t look like he takes up too much space.
