'I know they are going to die.' This foster father takes in only terminally ill children

The children were going to die.

The children were going to die.

Mohamed Bzeek knew that. But in his more than two decades as a foster father, he took them in anyway — the sickest of the sick in Los Angeles County’s sprawling foster care system.

He has buried about 10 children. Some died in his arms.

Now, Bzeek spends long days and sleepless nights caring for a bedridden 6-year-old foster girl with a rare brain defect. She’s blind and deaf. She has daily seizures. Her arms and legs are paralyzed.

Bzeek, a quiet, devout Libyan-born Muslim who lives in Azusa, just wants her to know she’s not alone in this life.

“I know she can’t hear, can’t see, but I always talk to her,” he said. “I’m always holding her, playing with her, touching her. … She has feelings. She has a soul. She’s a human being.”

He’s the only one that would take a child who would possibly not make it.— Melissa Testerman, Department of Children and Family Services intake coordinator

Of the 35,000 children monitored by the county’s Department of Children and Family Services, there are about 600 children at any given time who fall under the care of the department’s Medical Case Management Services, which serves those with the most severe medical needs, said Rosella Yousef, an assistant regional administrator for the unit.

There is a dire need for foster parents to care for such children.

Why I think Shouto will save Touya

So, now that Dabi has come out as Touya and the Todorokis know that he’s alive, I wanted to put my thoughts out there about where the family’s arc is headed. What I think Horikoshi has planned (or what I think would make sense) for the family’s healing and to crystalize Shouto’s understanding that his fire quirk is his own and not an extension of Endeavor’s, is for Shouto to save Touya. How do I think Shouto will accomplish that? 

Redeeming the fire quirk that both brothers inherited from Endeavor. See, I think there’s a distinction between Endeavor the person and his quirk. Out of both, I don’t think Endeavor is the one that will receive redemption.

Why do I think that?

The definition of the word: 

(noun:) 1.the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil.

I’ll discuss my thoughts about how the Todorokis’ view Endeavor’s flames and how Shouto will save his brother under this read-more cut, with specific mentions of Endeavor, Rei, and Natsuo:
