BREAKING NEWS: Amazon Warriors Star Player Romario Shepherd Invests $7.5 Million to Transform House Into Shelter for Homeless Youth
Georgetown, Guyana – May 5, 2025
In a heartwarming move that has captured the attention of fans and philanthropists alike, Amazon Warriors’ cricket star Romario Shepherd has announced a monumental personal investment of $7.5 million to convert his private property into a state-of-the-art shelter for homeless youth in Guyana.
The shelter, to be named “Shepherd’s Haven”, will serve as a safe space for vulnerable children and teenagers living on the streets. Equipped with dormitories, a learning center, vocational training facilities, and mental health support services, the shelter aims to rehabilitate and empower young lives who have fallen through the cracks of society.
Speaking at a press conference earlier today, Shepherd expressed his deep concern for the rising number of displaced youth in the country. “This is more than charity—this is my responsibility. Cricket gave me a platform, and now I want to use it to bring lasting change,” he said, visibly emotional. “These children deserve a chance, and I want to be part of that second chance.”
The facility, located just outside Georgetown, is expected to be fully operational by early 2026. Construction has already begun, with local contractors and youth volunteers joining hands in the project. In addition to housing, Shepherd plans to run mentorship programs in partnership with former athletes, educators, and social workers.
The initiative has received widespread praise from both local officials and international figures. Prime Minister Mark Phillips called the move “a shining example of patriotism and humanity,” while Caribbean cricket legend Brian Lara lauded Shepherd’s “unshakable commitment to giving back.”
Romario Shepherd, known for his explosive all-rounder performances and fierce dedication on the pitch, now adds another title to his legacy—humanitarian. In a world often driven by profit and fame, his gesture serves as a powerful reminder that real greatness lies not just in success, but in service.
