His commitment to his street family is unwavering.
“If I ever make it financially, I yearn to change the lives of my fellow street kids before I leave the street life to settle for a better life elsewhere,” he says. For D Star, true happiness comes from the shared moments and support within his community.
“We always share the little we have. That, for me, is true happiness.”
