Help Willard Justice Ar-Rahmaan Get a Second Chance at Life
We are asking for your urgent support for Willard Justice Ar-Rahmaan, a beloved community icon, educator, and advocate who has dedicated over three decades to uplifting youth through media, technology, and truth.
Since 1992, Willard has empowered teens through his groundbreaking political hip-hop television show, hands-on technology classes, and youth-driven public service campaigns. He’s taught video and audio production, inspired civic engagement, and provided a safe platform for young voices to be heard. His impact has been deep, real, and lasting.
Today, he needs our help.
Willard is battling end-stage kidney failure. He urgently needs a kidney transplant and relies on outpatient dialysis. At times, he even manages this while facing homelessness. He is one of the strongest voices in our community—and he is fighting for his life.
We must rally around him. Your support will help with:
Medical expenses related to his kidney transplant
Proper housing to ensure stability and access to ongoing treatment
Outpatient dialysis care and related medical transportation
Advocacy for mobile dialysis units to serve unhoused individuals in need
Continued youth education programs led by Willard in media, civic engagement, and public awareness
Despite these overwhelming challenges, Willard remains devoted to uplifting others. The photos included show both his recent hospital stays and his continued engagement with the community—even while in a wheelchair. His spirit remains unbreakable.
Let’s give back to someone who has given so much to us all. Willard is more than a patient—he’s a pioneer, a teacher, a mentor, and a friend.
