Love in Action: Supporting Orphans in Pakistan & the Power of Faith

In this deeply emotional and inspiring episode, Mike Vilardi and Neil Haley speak with Pastor Imran and the children at a Christian orphanage in Pakistan. Listeners are given an unfiltered look into the daily lives of 22+ children who, despite heartbreaking stories of abandonment, poverty, and trauma, radiate hope and joy through their love for faith and pro wrestling.

Pastor Imran shares the challenges the orphanage faces, from securing food, school tuition, and medical supplies to needing new mattresses and beds after their original donors, affiliated with a different faith group, withdrew support.

The episode also introduces plans for a fundraising website, powered by Media Giant Productions, to streamline donations through PayPal, Western Union, and build awareness for this life-changing mission.

💡 Key Highlights:
🧒🏽 Children’s Joy & Dreams:

Children greeted the hosts excitedly, many expressing love for WWE wrestling, especially Shawn Michaels and Triple H.

Several orphans mimic wrestling moves and speak of their dreams, despite their harsh realities.

🙏 Heartbreaking Backstories:

Stories of orphans forced into labor or begging by relatives.

Girls rescued from trafficking and forced domestic work.

Many children lost parents in violent incidents or were abandoned under bridges.

🛏️ Rebuilding the Orphanage:

Former sponsors took back mattresses and beds.

Thanks to emergency support from Mike and his clients, the children now have branded mattresses, blankets, and essential supplies.

Still needed: school tuition, food, medicine, LPG for cooking, utilities, and more.

💵 Financial Needs:

Monthly cost to operate the orphanage: $1,800 USD

A proposed children’s celebration event with food, awards, and a program costs $1,600 USD

🌍 Faith Amidst Persecution:

Pastor Imran and his team rejected financial aid from Mormon groups to stay faithful to Jesus Christ.

Christians in Pakistan face persecution, church burnings, and threats, but they remain steadfast in their mission.

🧩 The Plan Forward:

Mike Vilardi and Neil Haley are building a one-page website with a PayPal donation system to make it easier for supporters to help.

Mike will manage the funds through a designated PayPal and distribute them via Western Union.
