A pregnant drug addicts walks along a street at "Crackolandia," a place where drug users addicted to crack cocaine have been gathering for the past seven years to smoke their freebase in downtown Sao Paulo, Brazil, on December 9, 2009.

Some beg for change that goes straight to purchasing the drug that has wasted away their bodies as surely as it has their personalities, their futures and their sense of self-worth.
