Sudden & tragic emergency medical expenses.

Donation protected
My name is Jasmine and I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart to ask for your help. As some of you may know, my big brother Jamal was shot from the back, on Easter morning by the Joliet Police Department. This tragic incident has left our family reeling and struggling to make sense of it all. Jamal is a loving son, brother, and fantastic father of eight beautiful babies. He has already been through so much in the past year, winning a settlement against former Mayor Robert O'Dekirk for being assaulted at a peaceful protest in the summer of 2021. Now, he faces mounting legal fees and medical expenses, not to mention the challenge of supporting his children after this devastating event. We are still seeking answers from the police about the circumstances that led to this outcome, but in the meantime, we are doing everything we can to support Jamal and his family. That's why we are asking for your help today. Any donation you can make, no matter how small, will go a long way in helping us cover the costs of Jamal's medical care, legal fees, and supporting his children. As a family, we are incredibly grateful for your support during this difficult time. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us, and we hope that we can count on your continued support as we move forward. Thank you so much for your time, consideration, and any support you can provide. Warm regards, Jasmine
