So, I love to watch this YouTube Channel called "Soft White Underbelly". It's made by a super talented photographer that made a bunch of money from tech and now he does these interviews and photo-shoots with homeless people on Skidrow/Figueroa (Figueroa is the name of the street in LA where open air prostitution is common and allowed).
Anyway, he recently did an interview with a little girl (that I think was like 11) that reminded me of Jewel. She is from Alaska. Her mom has a drug issue. But, she was trying to keep her safe (and doing a pretty good job of it AFAICT).
If you need a good cry, these videos will do it:
