<div>Help Me Build a Future for 25 Adopted Children – One Stationery Shop at a Time
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello kind hearts,
</div>
<div>My name is Asham Shahid, and I’m writing to share a heartfelt mission — not just for myself, but for <strong>25 incredible children</strong> here in Pakistan who now call me “Dad.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I have dedicated my life to caring for and raising 25 beautiful children whom I have adopted. </strong>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I am a Christian father raising children in a country where Christianity is a small minority.</strong> 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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>To support them sustainably, I have a simple dream: to open a small stationery shop.</strong> 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.
</div>
<div>Your support will help us:
</div>
<div>Buy a small shop space – No rent means long-term stability.
</div>
<div>Set up the shop – Shelves, signage, furniture, electricity.
</div>
<div>Stock the shelves – Notebooks, pens, art supplies, school bags, and more.
</div>
<div>Handle permits and legal needs – To run the business properly.
</div>
<div>Cover transport and operating costs – Keeping the shop running.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> 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.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for opening your heart to us. May God bless you richly for every ounce of kindness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With hope and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Asham Shahid &amp; the 25 Stars Who Call Me “Dad”
</div>
<div>✝️ Living with faith. Loving against the odds.
</div>
