Onor's situation has deteriorated substantially in the past week. A few more centimetres of his bone is visible and the infection below it has gotten worse. A surgeon from MSF (Medecins Sans Frontieres) saw Onor and said he had never seen anything like it in his life. Time and options seem to have almost run out.
Onor's story is an excellent introduction to the plight of street children in Haiti - a microcosm of life here. Onor was orphaned at a young age, both his parents died and he was left in the care of his uncle. His uncle's new girlfriend didn't like him in the house and gave his uncle an ultimatum: It's either the kid or me. His uncle chose the latter and kicked him onto the street. With nowhere else to go, he joined the legions of thousands of street kids in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince.
