Justice 4 Akil Legal Team Fund

Donation protected
Our beloved Akil’s life has been forever changed by violence and injustice. Once full of laughter, ambition, and dreams for his future, Akil now faces unimaginable challenges after surviving an attempted murder that left him paralyzed. He is just a young man who deserved protection, safety, and support—but instead, he has endured abuse, trauma, and now the fight of his life.

Akil’s courage is unmatched. Despite his pain, he continues to push forward with resilience. But he cannot win this battle alone. The road ahead requires extensive medical care, rehabilitation, and—most urgently—a strong legal defense team to fight for the justice he rightfully deserves.
We are raising funds to ensure Akil has the best legal representation possible. These resources will cover attorney fees, court costs, and the advocacy needed to hold those responsible accountable. Without this support, his voice risks being silenced in a system that too often overlooks young Black men like him.
This is bigger than one case. It is about standing for truth, dignity, and protection for Akil—and for every young man whose life is devalued by neglect and violence.
We are asking from the depths of our hearts:

Donate whatever you can. Every contribution—large or small—moves us closer to securing Akil’s future.

Share this campaign. Help us spread Akil’s story so the world knows what happened and why he deserves justice.
Stand with us. Your support gives Akil not only legal strength, but also the reminder that he is not forgotten, and he is not alone.

Akil’s fight is our fight. Together, we can help him reclaim his future and ensure justice is served.

Please donate and share today.
