It was not how Loyai expected to spend his life, after he became a parent with special needs due to a medical mistake.
Loyai who is a husband and a father for seven children, did not let the hard circumstances stand in his way, he trained to become a barber and worked for 25 years in this career, using his wheelchair and wearing a smile while welcoming his satisfied clients, until he was displaced from his village Nabea’ Al-Sakher and lost his barbershop.
Later, in an attempt to keep his life balanced, he borrowed a toolkit from a friend but that did not help him much.
And after he returned along with his family to the village, the staff of Al-Qunayterah community center of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent Humanitarian Support Project which is funded by UNHCR contacted him after they heard about his story through the ORVs program of the center, and as a response to his need, the community center provided Loyai with barbering toolkit to help him work and support his family, proving that his will is his way to overcome all kinds of difficulties, using his wheelchair, his smile and the new pair of scissors.
