Life forced Mardiros the affectionate and caring father, to play the role of both parents in his children's Anna and Garo's lives when their mother passed away after a long battle with illness.
But to hear his full story we should go back to 1990. At the time, he started his career in Saudi Arabia, as a worker in an auto body repair workshop, until 2006, that was how he achieved his experience. Later, he came back to Aleppo and worked as a laborer in a company. It was all good, but when he had to move with his family to Latakia, he lost his job.
This is when the tragedy hit Mardisros again and he lost his partner in life and the mother of his children and had to head back to Aleppo without her in 2017 only to find that there are many misfortunes ahead.
Like said, the grieving family returned to Aleppo to find their house destroyed by shells, and Mardiros had to renovate it quickly so that it becomes habitable for his family.
without a mother in the household and him being busy of settling in and providing, Mardiros sent his children to a boarding school to continue their education and be taken care of during the day and came to pick them up and spent time with them and their old grandmother in evenings.
To be able to put bread on the table, Mardiros rented his friend's workshop with its equipment and started working in it, but unfortunately, his friend Had plans to travel and take the equipment with him, which meant that Mardiros will be left without any machinery or a workplace.
As he is the only provider for his mother and his two children, and with the help provided by Hope Center, he will be able to achieve a better income and enjoy this equipment after 31 years of experience and secure his children's future.
