14-Year-Old Autistic Teen Sells Drawings on Twitter to Survive in Venezuela

Samuel Andres is a Venezuelan teen who sells his drawings on twitter, a buck a piece. His success has made it possible for his mother to buy food, pay rent and stay afloat in a difficult situation. Venezuela is in the midst of a deep, years-long economic crisis. Many families in the South American nation struggle to buy food, medicine, the basic necessities. Samuel dreams of drawing for video games when he gets older. For now, he’s drawing for his family.
