What was life like as an orphan during the Great Depression?

It was a rough life beacause food,water, and shelter was hard to find.Kids had to go door to door asking if they could get some food or shelter.Kids had to find old and filthy cloths out of the garbage and water.They had to be careful not to step on glass or get a serios injury.There was no doctors or hospitals to cure an injury if they had gotten hurt.The kids had no parents to help take care of them or help them get food or water.
