Help Me Build a Future for 25 Adopted Children – One Stationery Shop at a Time

Hello kind hearts,
My name is Asham Shahid, and I’m writing to share a heartfelt mission — not just for myself, but for 25 incredible children here in Pakistan who now call me “Dad.”

I have dedicated my life to caring for and raising 25 beautiful children whom I have adopted. Each one of them comes from a background of hardship — orphaned, abandoned, or neglected — but each of them also holds a world of potential, joy, and love. They are not just children under my care — they are my family, my purpose, and my strength.

Over the years, they have grown in a home filled with love, laughter, and hope. But caring for this big, beautiful family isn’t easy. As much as I love and cherish this journey, it comes with significant financial challenges. Providing them with food, shelter, education, and emotional support takes everything I have — but I have never given up.

I am a Christian father raising children in a country where Christianity is a small minority. It’s not always easy. We don’t receive much help. But I teach my children about love, grace, and kindness — values rooted in Christ — even when the world around us often looks the other way.

To support them sustainably, I have a simple dream: to open a small stationery shop. This shop would be more than a business — it would be a lifeline. It would allow me to provide for my children independently, build long-term income, and teach the older kids about hard work, responsibility, and hope.
Your support will help us:
Buy a small shop space – No rent means long-term stability.
Set up the shop – Shelves, signage, furniture, electricity.
Stock the shelves – Notebooks, pens, art supplies, school bags, and more.
Handle permits and legal needs – To run the business properly.
Cover transport and operating costs – Keeping the shop running.

Every gift, every share, every prayer helps. You’re not just giving to a project — you’re changing the lives of 25 bright, loving kids who have already faced so much.

Thank you for opening your heart to us. May God bless you richly for every ounce of kindness.

With hope and gratitude,
Asham Shahid & the 25 Stars Who Call Me “Dad”
✝️ Living with faith. Loving against the odds.
