A Pakistani woman's heart-wrenching story featured on Humans of New York on Thursday has inspired people to get her help.
“I left an abusive relationship and I have nowhere to go. I have Hepatitis C, so no one is willing to take me in," the woman in Lahore, Pakistan said as she held her daughter in one hand and wiped her eyes with the other.
She said she tried to give her child up for adoption so that she'll have a "good home," but when she got there, she couldn't bring herself to give up her child.
When the story was originally shared on Twitter, many expressed a desire to help.

@humansofny These posts would mean nothing if we can't set up some kind of fund.otherwise these pics are meaningless to me— Umair Khalid (@umairawan582) August 13, 2015
@humansofny @AladdinAkoum if anyone ever finds out a way to help please let me know !— Engin Akyürek (@Jabbs23) August 14, 2015
A day later, Humans of New York announced that the woman had been located and set up with someone in Lahore who can connect her with those who want to help.
According to the announcement, the woman is hoping for someone to connect her with medical services rather than cash donations.
"Based on the outpouring of offers and support from yesterday, hopefully we can help her heal and get back on her feet," the tweet announcing the initiative read.
Brandon Stanton, the creator of Humans of New York, has been traveling throughout Pakistan for the month of August to share the stories of people in a different culture with the world.
