Support for Rahim “Knuckles” Muhammad and His Family
Story
Dear friends, family, and extended community,
We’re reaching out during an incredibly difficult moment to ask for your support. Our beloved friend and brother, Rahim “Knuckles” Muhammad, has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor. While doctors are still determining the specific diagnosis and prognosis, we expect that Rahim will need to begin radiation and chemotherapy treatments immediately.
As many of you know, Rahim is a force — physically, mentally, and spiritually. He’s meeting this devastating news with the same strength, humor, and heart that define him. At his side are his partner Kayla and their young son Kaimani, who are navigating this moment with courage and love.
To make matters even more difficult, the family is also recovering from a recent car accident, which has compounded an already overwhelming situation. Because of this, neither Rahim nor Kayla are currently able to work and are facing a financial burden.
Why We’re Raising Funds
We want Rahim and his family to focus on what truly matters right now: healing, rest, and time together. This fundraiser will help cover:
Medical bills and treatment costs
Rent and basic living expenses
Groceries, transportation, and caregiving needs
Anything else that can ease their stress during this time
We know Rahim is ready to fight — and we know he’s not fighting alone. Whether you can give 5 or 500, every donation makes a difference. If you’re not in a position to give financially, sharing this page or sending a message of encouragement means the world.
