Mari Hakobyan
Mari Hakobyan was born with a rare skin condition that requires very expensive creams and shampoos for treatment.
Her parents brought her to the orphanage only because they knew that they could not afford to give her what she needed to survive her disease. They visited her daily. The nuns saw that her parents wanted to care for their daughter, and they understood why they brought her to the orphanage, and so they contacted SOAR for help.
Through the Services to Children in Their Own Homes Sponsorship Fund, Mari now receives her monthly supplies of creams and shampoos. Mari was able to go back home to live with her parents who love her dearly.
SOAR has been supporting Mari since 2019.
November
Mari and her sister received special gifts from one of Mari’s sponsors. Mari drew a special picture and note for them.
The note says:
“Dear Fred and Jocia Mellinger, thank you very much for the gifts. My sister and I really liked them, we love playing with those toys until bedtime.
I wish God bless you. I kiss and hug you. I thank God that you are by my side.
Hakobyan Mari and Mariam❤️”
