Mr. A S is a 41-year-old married man who resided in Tel Baral city. He is a father of five, three of whom are with specific needs, and one of whom is a student. He currently lives with his family at a rent in Hassakeh after his house was completely destroyed during the crisis.

Like many Syrian families, Mr. A S fled with his family from Tel Barak and was subjected to severe psychological pressure because of the difficulties of displacement, securing the needs of his family and having to work at a minimum wage that wasn’t even enough to secure food and clothing.

After being spotted by one of SSSD’s outreach volunteers, he was hopeful to improve his and his family’s psychological and financial situation, and to secure work in the profession that he mastered.

And so, Mr. A S’s dream came true when SSSD supported him and provided him with a tire repair kit. This project was life-changing, as the project’s income enabled him to support his family and improved their psychological state. Also, Mr. A S was able to provide help to his children with specific needs, get his daughter back to school, secure food and clothing for the whole family, and consider renting a more suitable house.

With Mr. A S’s will to support his family, and with SSSD’s genuine will to help and develop the society, the desired goal was achieved with this family.
