She was transferred to a school in Damascus and continued her work as a teacher and was trying her best to support her family with the livelihood demands especially since her father was deceased, her mother was old and sick and her brother suffered from Down's syndrome.

However, deep inside Samar had this interest in art; so one day she was watching videos on YouTube about Epoxy art piece making and loved the idea so she kept watching these videos, then she decided to try making these pieces herself with the help of a friend and succeeded in making beautiful pieces that everybody loved.

During that very year, Samar made many epoxy pieces, managed to participate in galleries, and started to get customers. At this point, she felt that the work became bigger than her modest ability because her tools were simple and not proper for such orders.

After getting support from Hope Center, Samar was so grateful because she is now able to expand her work and get more orders which will lead to improving her income and her living conditions on the long term.

Despite all the calamities, Rabei worked hard at a private company in packaging aid kits and distributing them, but the income was barely enough to cover his daily expenses leaving him with little to support his brothers. Rabei didn't lose hope and decided to apply at the Micro project center for the Pick-up car with an idea of using it in delivering products and goods.

From a close-knit family, Bassel Alkholy was raised to become a determined young man who started working at a young age to support himself and his family.

He used to live with his family in Al-Zabadani area in the countryside of Damascus and after turning 18, he started to work with his brothers as a plumber in the same area and at the same time enrolled at the faculty of law dreaming of becoming a lawyer in the future.

However, during wartime, the area was affected badly by the armed groups' attacks which left most of its houses in ruins including Bassel’s, and as a result, he and his family were forced to leave their hometown and move to Damascus to start from scratch with no house, work or money.

Unfortunately, his father's heart was too weak to handle all those losses so he passed away in 2013 leaving his family grieving their great loss. Soon after, Bassel was called for the reserve military service where he spent three fateful years and was discharged as a result of an injury in the head and belly.

The ten years of military service that Yazan spent, made his life empty of any experiences or certificates, yet, he didn’t hesitate after his discharge in 2021 to start working as a delivery boy at a restaurant to afford his living and support his sick mother.
