Stand With Naphtali Israel
Donation protected
Naphtali Israel went to the Safeway on Krameria and 14th with his three stepdaughters (ages 14, 7, 2) while his fiancée was at home with their newborn.
While the girls were in the car, and he was shopping, a tip came, and a store manager made the call:
"I was wondering if we could get an officer right away over here right to do a drive-by? I have -- another customer that has left the premises that they reported an individual in a grey silver Cadillac who is still sitting in our parking lot, a black young male with a white hoodie, and he -- the customer that witnessed it and saw it -- said that this gentleman has a gun..." https://www.9news.com/video/news/local/911-audio-black-man-gun-lawsuit/73-74dff9bc-e7d6-4249-a404-0116e5a28a8b
There is a Cadillac in the parking lot. No young black male. No gun.
Just the three girls. Who end up surrounded by at least two police vehicles, watching their unarmed father being patted down and cuffed for no apparent reason.

We can take concrete action and support this man and his family.
We can help ease some of the financial burden of child care, therapy, and other bills.
We can let him know that we are willing to do more than shake our heads and say, "Oh, that's terrible," and continue with our day.
Naphtali and his fiancée say whatever you can give would be a blessing.
Thank you.
My name is Michelle. I live in Denver, Colorado.
I have never met Naphtali Israel.
I am fundraising for him because I want him to know that his fellow Denverites will hear his story and SHOW him that he and his family matter.
