While browsing through the Youtube's I came across a story which as silly as it sounds resorted a portion of the my faith for the future of humanity. This man is Mohamed Bzeek and he is the man which would do the impossible for many people. He takes in abandoned terminally ill children and raises them as if they are his own. He knows he will have to say good bye to them and even with that heartbreak he still cares so much to continue on.
This man lives in Los Angeles and as expected is the only one taking care of the terminally ill children." You have to do it from your heart. Really." A man like this exists in the world and I feel he should be recognized and held up as a beacon to others. With all this strife in our world politically, socially, and economically it is truly refreshing to see a human step beyond it and display true kindness.
He does have a Gofundme which has astonishingly raised over 5 times his original goal of one hundred thousand, but in situations which require so much assistance and care I feel it could never be enough.
The go fund me is https://www.gofundme.com/bzeek. It is really nice to see the best of humanity occasionally held up and shown to others just to restore some much needed faith and compassion.

I literally cannot comprehend the amount of mental strength necessary to do that.

Damn gofundme to take only creditcards and no Paypal. :(

I need to know how someone can do this, day in and day out, and not lose their shit, because I would. This man's mental strength is titanic.

How did 164 people vote this down on Youtube? What kind of person does that?

I'm such a waste.
johnnyjacksn
look at that. a person who would be called a terrorist by most people in the street or at least be watched suspiciously
LanaDelReyy
I get your point but I don’t like that you pointed it out. Unnecessary.

I’m sending this to Trump the next time he goes on one of his tirades about Muslims.
LanaDelReyy
As a person who aspires to do good in this world, if I could touch even a portion of the amount of lives he has, I’d be alright :)

What a beautiful human

I'm not crying. You're crying!

The video was well worth my time. Thank you for posting this. I didn't know about this beautiful man before.

THIS is what a hero looks like, folks. He helps, even when there's no hope, and no paycheck in the end.

Damn, this has got me close to tears at work. Those pesky office onions.

Do parents just give up their kids cause they are dying? Or are there that many terminally ill orphans?
GenderEqualityIsAMyth
The fact that there are abandoned terminally ill children is sickening.

This man is being the man Mr Rogers knew he could be,

Assumed it was in a third world country, noticed it was in the US, not far wrong.

There's a woman in Wisconsin, Cori Salchert, who's been doing this for years. She legally adopts them.

I wish I was a tenth the man he is. Great story. Right in the feels.

Glad not to read stupid muslim jokes . Ty mister ty for taking care of these kids . Big love big respect
LanaDelReyy
Is he Muslim??
IamBoring123
Yes he is
PatriciaHilpert
I hope to do this when I'm older. I'm going for nursing and I have a love for children(and I deal with death well) so i should be well 1/2
PatriciaHilpert
Equipped to support, care for, and love them.
SmartAssRN
I've often thought about doing animal hospice when we retire. Now I must add children to my plan.
PatriciaHilpert
But I've seen it hurt some RAs so much they don't last in the field long. Also make sure you have your own support system in place.
SmartAssRN
I'm positive it would destroy me but it's worse for them having no one. I can handle being destroyed.
PatriciaHilpert
Be sure of your stance on death. I work in an nursing home, I've experenced death and it isn't upsetting to me(though i care deeply)
SmartAssRN
Hospice nurse. I got this.

I really hope this is honest and good but the realist in me, the one who's been abused by pretty lies, is skeptical.
leabelle
Real life teaches us that where evil exists grace does too. I am sorry that you have suffered and I wish that you find hope and peace.
Hpets90
I hate that I am too
Kokokokko
Me too
LanaDelReyy
Deep down, I am as well. But I’m just as optimistic as I am a skeptic so I’ll just have the hope that it’s the truth.

This man has been featured by numerous news stories, you can do some reading. What are you skeptical about?
raw0mbat40
Intentions. All too often things are not what they seem, especially when money and fame are involved.
CitizenDickbag
This man isn't making money off of this. Holy shit, do some basic research before smearing him. You should be ashamed.
raw0mbat40
Smearing? Get off your high horse. And how many times has a person thought to be a great humanitarian turned out to be scum? You jumping to
CitizenDickbag
I don't know, how many? Sounds like an assumption you're making based on anecdotal evidence (if that), not data.
raw0mbat40
Conclusions and inserting your own idea of what I'm saying is the only thing anyone should be ashamed of. Remove the stick
