Mohamed Bzeek is an American Muslim of Libyan descent, who has served as a foster parent to terminally-ill children in the US for almost thirty years.

Over almost three decades, he and his wife cared for scores of children. Ten have died in his care. Most of the children he’s taken in recently were born with terminal illnesses.

“The key is, you have to love them like your own,” Bzeek said. “I know they are sick. I know they are going to die. I do my best as a human being and leave the rest to God.”
