Heartwarming article.

No, this has nothing to do with Lego, though what brought me to this page was obviously another one of my numerous google toy search.

This page is heartwarming. It almost makes me guilty that I, an adult, own a huge stockpile of lego that was originally meant to be sold to kids.

Almost.

Heck, I'd happily give a ~60$ Lego set to one of these poorer kids - on the condition that I get to give him/her in person.

Saw a LEGO City set in there with the boy on a chair surrounded by cars and possibly some Duplo bricks. A bit odd that some of the kids in modern, brick-and-mortar homes, surrounded by toys didn't look very happy... Still quite humbling

I saw what looks to be a police van, but I can't guess the exact set.

Someone sent me a link to a similar page that share many of the same photos...

On one of these is a small boy collecting NOTHING but toy guns

I'm pretty sure it's set 7245 Prisoner Transport with blue instead of black or green stickers applied

Scary!

Ryan from Johannesburg (at the end of this page) is an avid collector. His story isn't promising though.
