Example
The charity organization provided shelter and support for waifs who had nowhere else to turn.
She could n't bear to see the waif standing alone on the street corner and offered to buy him a warm meal.
The orphanage was overcrowded with waifs rescued from the streets, each one in need of care and protection.
