Meet Pablito

We were searching for the main road when Myrna called out “Zully, look over there!”  I turned.  What I saw changed my life…It took a moment for my mind to process the scene.  I realized it wasn’t an animal, it a little boy with no legs, dragging himself down the hot dirt road with his bare hands.
