Please Help Me Give My Brother Peace

Donation protected
My brother Jamal tragically lost his life on November 14th, 2021 when he and his roommate were murdered in their home. He is survived by my  Denise, his 10 year old son, and our other 3 brothers.
 

 
If you have the means to help, please please donate and/or share this gofundme on your social media. Even as little as $1 or $5 dollars can make the difference to help take care of Jamals body and the son he left behind.
 

 
The money raised will help us with funeral & memorial service expenses. We are hoping to at least raise $7000 to pay for a cremation and viewing so people can come and pay their respects and say farewell to Jamal. Any money past this amount will go towards a trust fund for Jamals' son. My mother Denise will be receiving the donations to take care of funeral arrangements and to set up the trust fund for her grandson.
 


 
Please help our wonderful family in this difficult time any way that you can - even if you can't donate, share this gofundme with everyone you know or send a kind word to the family. Every little bit helps and you are making a difference. If everyone gives a little we can help take care of my brother Jamal and his son. We're grateful for your love and help because this is one of the worst situations a family, and especially a child, can find themselves in.
 
There are no known suspects and the police have closed the investigation. If you have any information on the circumstances of Jamals' death please get in touch with me or the family.
 
Jamal was a good man with a kind heart who needlessly lost his life at the young age of 29. Please include him in your prayers, and send those he left behind your kind words and love so that their pain can be eased.
Thank you and god bless you.
