On a daily basis, thousands of children around the world are abandoned under harsh conditions and find themselves alone.

While many couples would prefer to have a biological child, others choose to adopt and ensure the children left behind have a better future.

In a touching testimony reported by the Los Angeles Times, a man was found adopting children with terminal cancer so that they would not end their lives on their own.

In a report published by the French magazine SantePlusMag;

Author Lawrence O said that Libyan immigrant Mohamed Bazeek has dedicated his life to helping children with cancer.

His moving testimony was published in the Los Angeles Times.

Cancer is often said to be a rapidly growing killer in the human body.

According to the French National Agency for Public Health, cancer is the leading cause of death among men and the second among women in France.

Muhammad Bazik tried to provide support to children affected by this disease and accompany them in their struggle.

Indeed, this man decided to receive young orphans with terminal cancer, and take care of them so as not to let them die alone.

"The only person who takes care of a child may not survive this disease," said Melissa Testerman, a coordinator trying to find foster families for sick children.

The writer mentions that Muhammad Bazeik has already suffered the death of 10 children under his care, some of whom died even in his arms.

In addition, this man spent sleepless nights caring for a 6-year-old girl with a rare brain malformation.

Dr. Susan Roberts - the pediatrician responsible for this case - reported that this girl had daily seizures, was blind and deaf and always felt severe pain.

In fact, the girl was born with an encephalocele, a rare defect that places part of the brain outside the skull.

Muhammad Bazik explained that he began taking care of children with his wife, Dawn Bazik, in 1989. Dawn devoted her life to this task, and even gave lessons to foster families to teach them how to deal with illness and the death of a child, and the couple struggled throughout their lives to help those children who lost their bond.

The couple had a biological child in 1997 and named him Adam, but he was suffering from dwarfism.

Later, Dawn fell ill with Bezek and lost her life.

Despite the anguish of losing his wife, Mohamed Bazeek continued to help sick children.

Altruism is the basis of happiness

Besides the positive effects that generous actions can have on others, altruism also appears to provide advantages to the individual who does it.

Indeed, giving and helping others can guarantee a person invaluable well-being and personal satisfaction.

According to a study published in the journal Nature, there is a strong relationship between altruism and our level of happiness.

When you give without expecting anything in return, the areas of the brain associated with the reward system activate, giving you a sense of individual happiness.
