30 Years of Dreams Lost in Minutes, Support Shaukat Ali

On 4th May 2025, a tragic fire engulfed Lone Market in Dadyal, Azad Kashmir, and in just a few short minutes, it wiped out 30 years of hard work and dreams.

Our dear brother Shaukat Ali, a skilled cameraman and video editor, lost his entire movie studio shop. A business he built from scratch over three decades. He made wedding videos, event films for countless families in the region. His studio was not just a source of income, it was his passion, his pride, and his life’s work.

The fire reduced everything to ashes: cameras, editing systems, lighting, sound equipment, computers, and years of stored work and memories. Equipment worth millions of rupees was lost in an instant.

In Azad Kashmir, there is no business insurance, no government support. Shaukat Ali and five people who worked with him now face complete devastation with no safety net.

We are raising funds to help Shaukat Ali:

• get new equipment

• Rebuild a studio space

• Support his team who are now jobless

• Continue serving the community through his craft

Please help in any way you can, donate, share, or pray. Every little bit makes a difference in helping a man who spent his life capturing others’ memories, now in need of support to rebuild his own.

Thank you for your support
