Welcome to One Family One Fight. We are a nonprofit born from pain, resilience, and a deep desire to make a difference. Our story begins with Samaad, a kind-hearted, loving young man who was tragically taken from us on December 31, 2019, in Somerset, NJ, at just 19 years old. He was a son, a brother, and a light in our lives. His loss left an unfillable void, but his legacy of love continues to inspire us every single day.
Our founder, Kimberly Janel, is Samaad’s mother. Her journey since that heartbreaking day has been one of unimaginable pain, but also incredible strength. Navigating the court system, planning her child’s burial, and facing the day-to-day reality of life after losing Samaad were some of the hardest challenges she’s ever endured. But through this tragedy, she found a purpose: to help others who are walking a similar path and to ensure Samaad’s legacy lives on.
One Family One Fight was created to provide hope, support, and advocacy for survivors of gun violence. Kimberly knows firsthand the overwhelming emotions, the frustration of navigating the justice system, and the need for a community that truly understands. Our vision is to be that community—a place where survivors and their families can find healing, resources, and a path forward.
Samaad’s legacy is one of love and unity. He believed in uplifting others, and through this nonprofit, we carry that torch. We offer survivor support groups, advocacy programs, and resources to help families rebuild their lives. Our goal is to remind survivors that they are not alone and that healing is possible, even in the face of such profound loss.
Kimberly’s journey has been one of transformation—from grieving mother to advocate, entrepreneur, and life coach. Through her experiences, she’s created One Family One Fight as a beacon of hope and resilience for families just like hers. Together, we fight for healing, justice, and the promise of brighter days ahead.
Thank you for being part of our journey. With your support, we can continue to honor Samaad’s life and legacy by bringing light to others in their darkest moments.
