Urgent Request: Legal Support for Young Somali Man

To Our Muslim Community and Allies,

We are urgently raising legal funds for a 29-year-old Somali Muslim man to fight false charges laid against him. A beloved community member with no criminal record, he comes from a low-income family and now faces significant jail time if convicted of these charges.

Since his arrest last year, this case has taken a monumental toll on him and his family, both emotionally and financially. He has already incurred $25,000 in legal fees, which he has been unable to cover, with additional trial costs anticipated at $30,000.

Prior to these charges, he was working in IT with aspirations to advance in the tech industry and give back to the community that has always supported him. If convicted, he faces not only potential imprisonment but also a lifelong criminal record that would jeopardize his career and future. At a time when he should be building his future, he is instead forced to fight these unjust charges and put his life on hold.

Your donation, no matter the size, will have a direct and meaningful impact, providing him with a fighting chance at justice and easing the financial burden on his family. Please donate what you can at the following GoFundMe link.

Jazakallah Khair.
