Help family of Philly city worker Masir Williams

Our son Masir Williams was just 21-years old when someone took his life. He was working his job with the city of Philadelphia when he took a break to go into a corner store in South Philly and someone shot him to death. We don't know what happened inside the store that caused the person police have identified but have not caught yet, to take his life.

Masir is one of nine siblings. He had a deep love for his brothers, sisters and his nieces and nephews. He loved sports and dancing.

We were so proud when he entered the Future Track program for the city, graduated and began working as a surveyor for the city. He recently received a promotion.

We were excited for him to begin this next chapter of life. He turned 21 February of this year. Now there are moments we will never see or share with him and like so many families, sadly, we are left with a hole in our hearts that can never be filled.

We are asking anyone who can find it in their heart to help us through this time to donate. We are extremely grateful for anything no matter the amount. The money will go to his mother Dalshe Stratford who he proudly helped provide for and myself with the expenses incurred unexpectedly having to bury my son. Our hearts go out to all the families living with this same grief.
