Help Sakir Everett Continue His Education

On what could have been a tragic and devastating day, 11 year-old Sakir Everett acted out of courage and compassion. When he discovered another student at his school carrying a gun, Sakir’s instinct was not to run away — it was to protect his classmates. He took the gun from the armed student, disassembled it, and removed the bullets, preventing what could have been an unimaginable tragedy.

Instead of being recognized as a hero, Sakir is now being treated like a criminal. He has been expelled and barred from all school platforms, despite being an A/B student, a respectful young man, and an athlete who has been playing sports since he was six years old. He has never been in trouble at school before.

Because of this sudden expulsion, Sakir’s mother has had to take on the enormous challenge of educating him at home. This has forced her to cut back on work, creating serious financial strain on their household.

We are asking our community to come together to support Sakir and his family. Any contribution — even one dollar — will help cover educational expenses, tutoring, and household needs while they navigate this crisis. If you can’t give, sharing this page on Facebook or with your networks is equally appreciated.

Sakir acted out of bravery and love for his classmates. Let’s show him that same love now.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers, donations, and shares. Your support means the world to Sakir and his family.
