Honoring Karina: Funeral Fund Needed

Our beloved Karina Andrade recently passed on February 19, 2025. Karina was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, who touched the lives of those around her. She leaves behind her husband, Miguel, and her children Emely, Mia, and Miguel Jr.

Karina dedicated her life to her family. She worked hard to provide and was always there for her children.

2024 was to be the year for Karina and Miguel. In February, Karina was promoted to a new role as a Chef Manager and Miguel was promoted to Executive Chef. Weeks later, a routine Mammogram showed Karina had stage 4 aggressive breast cancer.

She faced her diagnosis with courage, strength, and resilience.

She underwent radiation, chemo and then surgery. She fought hard all summer and never gave up.

Karina came back to work in October fiercely and ready to work. Her entire work family welcomed her back as we celebrated her remission, and her customers looked forward to her delicious meals, made with love, creativity and just enough spice…just like her

Sadly, on November 18, she had a seizure and found out the cancer spread to her brain and lungs. She underwent 2 brain surgeries, radiation and chemo. She continued the fight, but her body was tired, and she left us too soon.

We are all devastated by Karina's sudden passing and the family was not prepared for the excessive cost of funeral services.

We want to give Karina the services she wished for to honor her memory and say our last goodbyes to our dear friend. We are asking for donations to help cover the cost of her funeral services. We need to raise 25,000 to cover these expenses. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in ensuring that Karina is laid to rest with the dignity and respect she deserves. During this difficult time, your kindness means the world as we navigate through our grief.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Family and Friends of Karina Andrade
